Decoherence of Schrödinger cat states in a Luttinger liquid
Schrodinger cat states built from quantum superpositions of left or right Luttinger fermions located at different positions in a spinless Luttinger liquid are considered. Their decoherence rates are computed within the bosonization approach using as environments the quantum electromagnetic field or two or three dimensionnal acoustic phonon baths. Emphasis is …
