A unique description of the phenomena that arise from the interaction between quantum systems and their environment. Because of the novel character of the appro

Decoherence, a concept known only to few physicists when the first edition appeared in 1996, has since become firmly established experimentally and understood t

Entanglement and (de-)coherence arguably define the central issues of concern in present day quantum information theory. Entanglement being a consequence of the
