Decoherent Histories in Quantum Mechanics

This chapter explores the integration of decoherent histories with quantum mechanics, examining its mathematical framework and various interpretations, including Feynman's path integral approach. It highlights the significance of decoherence in understanding quantum properties and the transition to classical reality, using examples like the double-slit experiment to illustrate its implications. By addressing the treatment of superpositions as statistical mixtures, the chapter clarifies the nature of quantum states and their evolution over time.
