We review the difference between standard environmental decoherence and 'intrinsic decoherence', which is taken to be an ineluctable process of Nature. Environmental decoherence is typically modelled by spin bath or oscillator modes-we review some of the unanswered questions not captured by these models, and also the application of them to experiments. Finally, a sketch is given of a new theoretical approach to intrinsic decoherence, and this scheme is applied to the discussion of gravitational decoherence.
我们回顾了标准环境退相干和“内在退相干”之间的区别，后者被认为是自然界不可避免的过程。环境退相干通常通过自旋浴或振荡器模式来建模——我们回顾了一些这些模型无法捕捉到的未解决的问题，以及它们在实验中的应用。最后，我们给出了一个新的内在退相干理论方法的概要，并将该方案应用于引力退相干的讨论。
