decoherence [‚dē·kō′hir·əns]
(quantum mechanics) The process whereby the quantum-mechanical state of any macroscopic system is rapidly correlated with that of its environment in such a way that no measurement on the system alone (without a simultaneous measurement of the complete state of the environment) can demonstrate any interference between two quantum states of the system.
