It is impossible to observe the transition from quantum to classical behaviour in macroscopic systems because the decoherence occurs on timescales that are too short to be measured. However, it is possible with mesoscopic systems such as atoms and ions. In the Boulder experiment the ion is confined in a magnetic trap and cooled so that quantum effects dominate its behaviour. This behaviour can be observed in quantum interference fringes. [Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology] then introduced various external disturbances to the trap that would cause the quantum behaviour to decohere into classical behaviour. 3, record 1, English, - quantum%20decoherence

La decoherencia cuántica es el proceso que produce la pérdida de coherencia de un estado cuántico. Se puede entender como la destrucción de la interferencia cuántica; la interferencia es el resultado de una de las características más peculiares de la mecánica cuántica, el principio de superposición. Por este motivo la decoherencia juega un papel central en la explicación de cómo las propiedades clásicas de un sistema surgen a partir de su naturaleza cuántica. 2, record 1, Spanish, - decoherencia%20cu%C3%A1ntica

La teoría de la decoherencia cuántica trata de explicar la transición de la mecánica cuántica, es decir, cómo interactúan entre sí los elementos subatómicos al comportamiento físico clásico de los objetos macroscópicos. Según el profesor de la USP [Universidad de São Paulo], la teoría afirma que, debido a la interacción con el entorno, las propiedades cuánticas de un sistema pueden "decaer" o perder coherencia, dando lugar a comportamientos descritos por la física clásica. 1, record 2, Spanish, - perder%20coherencia

A SQUID Magnetometer is a superconducting quantum interference device(SQUID) [which] consists of two superconductors separated by thin insulating layers to form two parallel Josephson junctions. The device may be configured as a magnetometer to detect incredibly small magnetic fields-small enough to measure the magnetic fields in living organisms. Squids have been used to measure the magnetic fields in mouse brains to test whether there might be enough magnetism to attribute their navigational ability to an internal compass. 2, record 4, English, - SQUID%20magnetometer

Le magnétomètre à SQUID est un détecteur de champ magnétique très sensible et il s'impose depuis sa découverte comme le magnétomètre le plus sensible actuellement disponible. Il est basé sur un détecteur supraconducteur qui est nommé «SQUID» (superconducting quantum interference device : détecteur supraconducteur à interférence quantique). Il s'agit d'un anneau supraconducteur avec une ou deux zones normales de faibles épaisseur. Le principe de fonctionnement est basé sur l'effet tunnel des porteurs du courant supraconducteur (l'effet Josephson) soumis à un champ magnétique à travers ces zones normales (dites jonctions normales ou liaisons faibles). Cet anneau est un instrument très sensible pour la détection de très faibles changements de flux magnétiques. Il est possible de mesurer avec cet appareil des champs magnétiques d'une grandeur de 10e-10 Œrsted en utilisant des bobines de détection de taille macroscopique. 3, record 4, French, - magn%C3%A9tom%C3%A8tre%20%C3%A0%20SQUID
