On maximum number of decoherent histories

Abstract

It is shown that N2 is the upper limit for the number of histories in a decohering family of N-state quantum system. Simple criterion is found for a family of N2 fine grained decohering histories of Gell-Mann and Hartle to be identical with a family of Griffiths' consistent quantum trajectories.
