Decoherence and quantum to classical limit: good resources?

Question

I am looking for good references for decoherence theory.

I mainly worked with "Decoherence, einselection, and the quantum origins of the classical" from Zurek, but some parts are a little bit confusing in his explanations.

I found this video https://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/videos/decoherence-entanglement-and-foundation-quantum-mechanics which looks great.

I am looking for more well explained collection of videos or really pedagogical articles/books.

What can you advise me ?

Answer 1

Zurek has a more public-oriented intro/overview, if you are into the popular picture pond,

• W Zurek, 2003, Decoherence and the transition from quantum to classical -- REVISITED

There is also a popular go-to book by Schlosshauer,

• M Schlosshauer, 2008, Decoherence and the Quantum-to-Classical Transition , Springer, ISBN-13: 978-3540357735 .

To get serious, you might try technical reviews,

• K Modi, A Brodutch, H Cable, T Paterek, and V Vedral, 2012, Rev. Mod. Phys. 84, 1655, The classical-quantum boundary for correlations: Discord and related measures

• M Schlosshauer, 2005, Rev. Mod. Phys. 76, 1267, Decoherence, the measurement problem, and interpretations of quantum mechanics,

and, finally, papers like

• L E Ballentine, 2004, Phys. Rev. A70, 032111, Quantum-to-classical limit in a Hamiltonian system.

It's a cottage industry. The essence is in the useful math tricks, not the poetic "picture" stuff.
