1210.7564 (R. Muñoz-Vega et al.)

A toy model for Macroscopic Quantum Coherence    [PDF]

R. Muñoz-Vega, José-Job J. Flores-Godoy, G. Fernández-Anaya, Encarnación Salinas-Hernández
The present article deals with Macroscopic Quantum Coherence resorting only to basic quantum mechanics. A square double well is used to illustrate the Leggett-Caldeira oscillations. The effect of thermal-radiation on two-level systems is discussed to some extent. The concept of decoherence is introduced at an elementary level. Handles are deduced for the energy, temperature and time scales involved in Macroscopic Quantum Coherence.
