Usage examples of "decoherence".

I have a new idea about preventing decoherence even in surface-level systems, but I require your expertise in quantum computing.

For that, they needed a quantum error correcting code, which in turn required a weak Nullstellensatz ideal, a way of defeating the complexifying polynomials of decoherence, the noise that smeared encoded data to zero.
