Decoherence from General Relativity

Understand

It is of great interest to explore matter in nontrivial quantum arrangements, including Schrodinger cat-like states.

• Such states are sensitive to decoherence from their environment.
• Recently, in Ref.
• [1] we computed the rate of decoherence of a piece of superposed matter that primarily only interacts gravitationally, a dark-matter-Schrodinger-cat-state (DMSCS), within the nonrelativistic approximation.
