Quantum and classical features in the explanation of collisional
decoherence
B. Vacchini
abstract: A most simple theoretical argument is given in order to explain the
quantitative estimate of the effect of collisional decoherence in matter-wave
interferometry. The argument highlights the relevance of quantum and classical
features in the description of the phenomenon, showing in particular the
connection between the formula used for the experimental fit and the loss term
in the classical linear Boltzmann equation.
