Decoherence Suppresses Quantum Tunneling In Universe Study
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.
Why now: It challenges standard cosmological models by showing environmental decoherence may have limited quantum tunneling in the early universe.
