- Summary:
- "How does the 'classical' world emerge from our quantum mechanical universe? In this book, a pioneer of decoherence theory examines quantum foundations and exploits information theory to introduce "Quantum Darwinism" and answer this key question. Essential reading for students and researchers interested in the interpretation of quantum theory"-- Provided by publisher.
