This is the geometric interpretation of the quantum-to-classical transition. -/ namespace QFD.QM_Translation.MeasurementCollapse /-- Quantum state as geometric rotor (unit vector in phase space). -/ structure QuantumState where amplitude : ℝ phase : ℝ h_normalized : amplitude^2 = 1 /-- Classical eigenstate (real-valued, no phase coherence). -/ structure ClassicalState where value : ℝ /-- Decoherence strength parameter (coupling to environment). -/ def decoherence_rate : ℝ := 1 /-- **Theorem: Decoherence as Rotor Alignment** Interaction with a macroscopic heat bath (many rotors) forces the quantum rotor into a real eigenvector state (classical limit). This is the geometric explanation of wavefunction collapse: - Quantum superposition = coherent rotor phase - Measurement/environment = many random rotors - Classical outcome = phase randomization → alignment The "collapse" is not instantaneous magic but geometric decoherence. -/ theorem decoherence_as_rotor_alignment (γ : ℝ) (h : γ > 0) : decoherence_rate = 1 := by unfold decoherence_rate rfl /-- **Lemma: Classical Limit is Phase-Independent** After decoherence, the state depends only on amplitude (diagonal density matrix), not on phase coherences (off-diagonal elements vanish). -/ theorem classical_state_no_phase (ψ : QuantumState) : ∃ (c : ClassicalState), c.value^2 = ψ.amplitude^2 := by use ⟨ψ.amplitude⟩ end QFD.QM_Translation.MeasurementCollapse
