Decoherence = Copenhagen Interpretation ?

Widdekind
in Quantum Theory

Featured Replies

If Decoherence effects arise, from the coupling, of an ideal quantum system, to a "noisy" environment, full of phase-randomizing thermal interferences (phonons, photons); and if such an "environment", in thermal equilibrium, is, in practice, ultra-macroscopic; then doesn't Decoherence essentially, or at least ultimately, wind up appealing to Bohr's "microscopic / macroscopic" Copenhagen Interpretation, for quantum measurement ?
