Relativistic Effects on Quantum Decoherence: Time Dilation, Length Contraction, and Velocity-Enhanced Decoherence in the Quantum-to-Classical Transition

This thesis presents a unified model for the quantum-to-classical transition by integrating relativistic effects—such as time dilation and length contraction—with Humberto Arrabal’s velocity-enhanced quantum decoherence model. While traditional decoherence theories focus on environmental interactions, this work expands the framework by demonstrating that particle velocity, particularly at relativistic speeds, significantly accelerates quantum decoherence. The model applies Einstein’s relativistic energy equation and Arrabal’s velocity-based criterion, showing that relativistic velocities cause an earlier onset of classical behavior. The implications for quantum computing, cosmology, and experimental designs are explored, including a proposal for empirical validation at CERN.
