Entanglement and separable state

[phyky]

Entanglement is inseparable state |ψ>=\Sigma\Sigmac(n1,n2)|n1n2> but for decoherence where system and environment coupling |ψ>(s,e)=\Sigmac|s>\otimes|e> which is normal tensor product, can we still say entanglement cause decoherece or just the tensor product between system and environment?

 

[atyy]

Yes, entanglement is responsible for decoherence.
