Cosmic lockdown: How the environment can isolate quantum fields
TL;DREnvironmental interference can prevent quantum fields from escaping their current state.
Why it matters: Explains how universe stays stable; impacts quantum computing and fundamental physics understanding.
A simplified cosmological model suggests that decoherence can suppress quantum tunneling, effectively locking fields into the vacuum state they have reached.
