Abstract

Models for gravitationally induced decoherence can be formulated within the framework of open quantum systems, in which gravity is chosen as the environment and quantised together with the system under consideration. The effective dynamics of the system under the influence of the environment are encoded in the so-called master equation. Existing phenomenological models often take the Lindblad equation as the starting point for the master equation, while from the perspective of quantum gravity approaches, an underlying microscopic model from which a field-theoretical master equation can be derived seems to be the more accessible approach, which also makes it possible to establish a connection between microscopic and phenomenological models.
