The initial state of the electron is the superposition of two spatially localized distant bumps moving towards each other, and the phonons are in a thermal state. We investigate the dynamics of the system in the kinetic regime and show that the time evolution makes the non-diagonal terms of the density matrix of the electron decay, destroying the interference between the two bumps. We show that such a damping effect is exponential in time, and the related decay rate is proportional to the total scattering cross section of the electron-phonon interaction.","lang":"eng"}],"title":"Rate of decoherence for an electron weakly coupled to a phonon gas","date_created":"2018-12-11T11:59:25Z","date_updated":"2021-01-12T06:59:28Z","author":[{"last_name":"Adami","first_name":"Riccardo","full_name":"Adami, Riccardo"},{"full_name":"László Erdös","last_name":"Erdös","id":"4DBD5372-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0001-5366-9603","first_name":"László"}],"intvolume":"       132","quality_controlled":0,"doi":"10.1007/s10955-008-9561-8","day":"01","year":"2008","_id":"2754","page":"301 - 328","issue":"2"}
