Abstract

The conceptual and dynamical aspects of decoherence are analyzed, while their consequences are discussed for several fundamental applications. This mechanism, which is based on a universal Schrödinger equation, is furthermore compared with the phenomenological description of open systems in terms of `quantum dynamical maps'.
