Is the Diagonal Density Matrix Classical?
diagonal density matrices represent classical systems, so that's what we capture just this is like we sometimes call it in in terms of dynamics classic classical. The difference comes when we have this off diagonal terms, then that's not classical, that's a quantum effect that represents coherence,. I hope that answered your question in your paper I think you talked about this sort of non-gib state in the diagonal is asymmetry, is that correct? That would be interesting I want to, that was a lot rightso my answer to the first thing I want to make sure is so the interpretation of the diagonal density matrix is that it's an equilibrium system.
