quantum decoherence
Quantum decoherence refers to the process where a quantum system, such as a particle or an atom, loses its coherent properties and becomes entangled with its environment, leading to the loss of interference effects and superposition states. In simpler terms, it is the phenomenon that causes quantum objects to behave more like classical objects due to interactions with their surroundings.
