Abstract: Decoherence deciphered Quantum decoherence, a fundamental process by which fragile quantum information is lost to the environment, is the key limitation to many envisaged exotic applications of quantum mechanics. However, in many systems of practical interest it remains poorly constrained by theory and experiment. Takahashi et al. show that for one such system — crystals of a quantum molecular magnet — the principal decoherence processes responsible for loss of quantum information can be quantitatively predicted and experimentally verified.
