Pointer state
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (June 2015) |
In quantum Darwinism and similar theories, pointer states are quantum states that are less perturbed by decoherence than other states, and are the quantum equivalents of the classical states of the system after decoherence has occurred through interaction with the environment.[1][2]
