In Binary Pulse Theory: Decoherence Mechanisms
BPT explains itIn standard physics
The loss of quantum behavior as a system couples to its surroundings.
In Binary Pulse Theory
Coupling to the environment drifts a system off the substrate's pulse; phase alignment with the pulse suppresses it.
The BPT terms behind it
Decoherence Mechanisms are the environmental coupling processes by which a computational substrate system loses its quantum coherence.
A Decoherence Transition is the critical transition in which the substrate's entropy exceeds the threshold for maintaining quantum coherence, so coherence is lost and behavior passes from the quantum to the classical regime.
Quantum Decoherence Suppression is the mechanism by which phase alignment with the substrate pulse reduces a quantum system's coupling to its environment, so that its decoherence time becomes much longer than the pulse period.
