Dynamical Objectivity in Quantum Brownian Motion
Classical objectivity as a property of quantum states---a view proposed to
explain the observer-independent character of our world from quantum theory, is
an important step in bridging the quantum-classical gap. It was recently
derived in terms of spectrum broadcast structures for small objects embedded in
noisy photon-like environments. However, two fundamental problems have arisen:
a description of objective motion and applicability to other types of
environments. Here we derive an example of objective states of motion in
quantum mechanics by showing a formation of dynamical spectrum broadcast
structures in the celebrated, realistic model of decoherence---Quantum Brownian
Motion. We do it for realistic, thermal environments and show their
noise-robustness. This opens a potentially new method of studying
quantum-to-classical transition.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in EP
