From Coherence to Decoherence, Collapse and the Measurement Problem

A step-by-step distinction between coherence, decoherence and wavefunction collapse. Starting from a single electron with no definite pre-measurement path, the note shows how interaction with an environment creates entanglement, why orthogonal environmental states suppress interference, why decoherence does not select one outcome, and why this leads to the quantum measurement problem.
