摘 要:The thermal decoherence of harmonic oscillators is investigated *** quantum system presented here is a one-dimensional oscillator with angular frequency,which is surrounded by a thermal bath of environmental *** are various environmental oscillators with different angular frequency(below an ultraviolet cutoff).At the beginning,the quantum system is a pure state and the environmental oscillators are in thermodynamic equilibrium with *** a period,the system-environment interactions inspire significant decoherence of the quantum *** decoherence is displayed by explicit calculations of the purity and von Neumann entropy of the quantum *** is worth noting that the decoherence could be significant even in the weak coupling and low temperature case due to the large amount of environmental degrees of *** the decoherence process is inspired between the quantum system and an ordinary thermal environment here,the thermal decoherence result is quite general.
