Physics of a microsystem starting from nonequilibrium quantum statistical mechanics / L. Lanz, O. Melsheimer, B. Vacchini. - In: REPORTS ON MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS. - ISSN 0034-4877. - 49:2-3(2002), pp. 279-293.
Abstract:
In this paper we address the problem to give a concrete support to the idea, originally stemming from Niels Bohr, that quantum mechanics must be rooted inside the physics of macroscopic systems. It is shown that, starting from the formalism of the nonequilibrium statistical operator, which is now a consolidated part of quantum statistical mechanics, particular correlations between two isolated systems can be singled out and interpreted as microsystems. In this way also a new framework is established in which questions of decoherence can be naturally addressed.
