Environmental decoherence, as described by Zurek in 2003, explains the emergence of classicality through the entanglement of a quantum system with its surrounding environmental degrees of freedom, which averages out off-diagonal terms in the system’s reduced density matrix without invoking a true state reduction of the universal wave function.
