A new study reports that decoherence — the process by which quantum systems lose coherence through interaction with their environment — can suppress quantum tunneling in cosmological settings. The finding suggests tunneling rates in the early universe may have been lower than standard models assume, with potential implications for how physicists understand phase transitions and the evolution of the cosmos.
