摘要: It has been found that for a fixed degree of fuzziness in the coarsened references of measurements, the quantum-to-classical transition can be observed independent of the macroscopicity of the quantum state. We explore a general situation that the degree of fuzziness can change with the rotation angle between two states (different rotation angles represent different references). The fuzziness of reference comes from two kinds of fuzziness:the Hamiltonian (rotation frequency) and the timing (rotation time). For the fuzziness of the Hamiltonian alone, the degree of fuzziness for the reference will change with the rotation angle between two states, and the quantum effects can still be observed with any degree of fuzziness of Hamiltonian. For the fuzziness of timing, the degree of the coarsening reference is unchanged with the rotation angle. During the rotation of the measurement axis, the decoherence environment can also help the classical-to-quantum transition due to changing the direction of the measurement axis.

For the fuzziness of the Hamiltonian alone, the degree of fuzziness for the reference will change with the rotation angle between two states, and the quantum effects can still be observed with any degree of fuzziness of Hamiltonian. For the fuzziness of timing, the degree of the coarsening reference is unchanged with the rotation angle. During the rotation of the measurement axis, the decoherence environment can also help the classical-to-quantum transition due to changing the direction of the measurement axis.
