Conditional wave theory of environmental interactions with a quantum particle

We present an alternative formulation of quantum decoherence theory using conditional wave theory (CWT), which was originally developed in molecular physics (also known as exact factorization methods). We formulate a CWT of a classic model of collisional decoherence of a free particle with environme...
