The word "coherence" refers to the usual thing in the discussion of "decoherence" (indeed, it has no simple relationship with the coherent states of harmonic oscillators). Coherence is the characteristically quantum mechanical well-defined relative phase between two or many probability amplitudes. In the density matrix language, "coherence" is reflected by nonzero off-diagonal matrix elements (ρjk=c∗jckρjk=cj∗ck if the density matrix is calculated from a pure state) of the density matrix. The converse, i.e. the density matrix with vanishing off-diagonal elements, is therefore called "incoherent".
(Wurde AFAIK auch so im Thread hier erklärt was "Coherence" betrifft.)
2 Fragen:
1. Kann ich mir dann vorstellen das "Coherence" eines Systems bedeutet, z.B. dass es in einer Superposition ist aus Spin UP/DOWN x,y,z, oder/und anderer QM-Eigenschaften?
2. [Wenn man das vorherige so ansehen kann,] was bedeutet dann "Incoherent"?
