Hi everyone
Is there anyone who can explain when does Spontaneously generated coherence(SGC) happen and how?
Thank you in advance

I'm sorry you are not finding help at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us?
 
Thank you dear Greg for your comment,
actually I started to study more about it and found that SGC happens when we are dealing with decays in an atom, when a three level Landa type atom (for example) decays to lower levels and the final state of the atom becomes a coherent superposition of states, we will have SGC , I came up with another question that "What makes a superposition of states a coherent superposition?" , and I wrote it in the forum too.now as I am more investigating I face more challenges that I have asked under the title of:" What makes a superposition of states a coherent superposition?"
Thank you again and if anyone can help me on this question too , I will appreciate .
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
