MOTIVATION
1 To understand the relationship between the system dynamics anddecoherence.
2 Echoes in NMR: time reversal is unavoidably degraded byuncontrolled, internal or environmental, degrees of freedom.
3 Central Hypothesis of Irreversibility: decoherence is tied to T2
(dipolar interactions).
4 Complex many-body dynamics could rule an emergent mechanism of
decoherence and irreversibility in the thermodynamic limit.

IMPLEMENTATIONS

In general, the elements ρij are not detectable. It is only possible todetect magnetization.
A series of signals is measured for different phases. The FourierTransform separates different coherence orders:

CONCLUSIONS
1 Study of the connectivity of the system through MQC evolution.
2 Cluster size extracted by means of Gaussian curves fittings.
3 It was possible to observe correlations between the growth of thesystem and decoherence.
4 The difference in the coupling constants values separates the timeevolution of the system by allowing a temporary stagnation in clusterssize evidencing correspondence with decoherence.
5 There is a decoherence mechanism residing in the growth rate of thestate of the system. It is beyond the size, or complexity of the state.
