Abstract

Simultaneous decoherence of conjugate observables of an open quantum system leads to a classical statistical mechanical description with constant phase space probability density in terms of a uniform ensemble. We investigate a scenario where this may be realized by measurement of basic conjugate observables of a quantum system by the environment.
