我们研究底偶素在夸克-胶子等离子体中演化过程中保留了多少量子结构。在开放量子系统框架内，我们模拟了从势非相对论QCD在量子布朗运动区域得到的Lindblad方程。根据底偶素密度矩阵的实时演化结果，我们计算Wigner变换并研究其负性，以此作为非经典性的度量，并检验经典Langevin型近似所依赖的关键条件。我们发现介质抑制了负性，但负性仍趋近于接近$1\mathrm{S}$态的有限平台。与激发态$2\mathrm{S}$和$3\mathrm{S}$态的重叠源于正负相空间贡献的近乎抵消，这些贡献由束缚态投影算符Wigner变换中的负区域驱动，而$1\mathrm{S}$态的重叠对此类贡献不敏感。我们进一步表明，位置空间相干性同样被抑制，并趋近于接近1S值的平台。我们将有限的残余量子结构追溯到条件纯化：介质优先溶解具有大$\langle r^2\rangle$的弱束缚和非束缚模式，驱使存活的单态$\mathrm{S}$波系综向$1\mathrm{S}$态演化。更广泛地说，这些结果揭示经典化是部分的且依赖于可观测量，这一特征在基础物理中开放量子系统方法的应用中具有相关性。
英文摘要
We study how much quantum structure bottomonium retains during its evolution in the quark-gluon plasma. Within the open quantum system framework, we simulate the Lindblad equation obtained from potential nonrelativistic QCD in the quantum Brownian regime. From the resulting real-time evolution of the bottomonium density matrix, we compute the Wigner transform and study its negativity as a measure of nonclassicality and a test of a key condition underlying classical Langevin-type approximations. We find that the medium suppresses the negativity, which nevertheless approaches a finite plateau close to that of the $1\mathrm{S}$ state. The overlaps with the excited $2\mathrm{S}$ and $3\mathrm{S}$ states arise from near-canceling positive and negative phase-space contributions, driven by negative regions in the Wigner transforms of the bound-state projectors, while the $1\mathrm{S}$ overlap is insensitive to such contributions. We further show that the position-space coherence is similarly suppressed and plateaus close to the 1S value. We trace the finite residual quantum structure to conditional purification: the medium preferentially dissolves weakly bound and unbound modes with large $\langle r^2\rangle$, driving the surviving singlet $\mathrm{S}$-wave ensemble toward the $1\mathrm{S}$ state. More broadly, these results reveal that classicalization is partial and observable dependent, a feature that is relevant across applications of open quantum system methods in fundamental physics.
