Emergence of consensus about objective classical reality in a quantum universe
ORAL
Abstract
We study the emergence of classicality within a quantum universe through the framework of Quantum Darwinism. In particular, we propose a new information-theoretic measure of consensus, and show that it is a well-defined measure of agreement between observers in branching states of arbitrary dimension. This result represents an information-theoretic quantitative approach to the emergence of objective classical reality in our universe.
