Scaling laws in the quantum-to-classical transition in chaotic systems

We study the quantum-to-classical transition in a chaotic system surrounded by a diffusive environment. First, we analyze the emergence of classicality when it is monitored by the Renyi entropy, a measure of the entanglement of a system with its environment. We show that the Renyi entropy has a tran...
