• Abstract: Simultaneous decoherence of conjugate observables of an open quantum system leads to a classical statistical mechanical description with constant phase space probability density in terms of a uniform ensemble. We investigate a scenario where this may be realized by measurement of basic conjugate observables of a quantum system by the environment.

  We investigate what can be concluded about a quantum system when sequential quantum measurements of its observable fulfill the Kolmogorov consistency condition. It can be said that the trajectory interpretation suggested by the Kolmogorov consistent measurements also applies in contexts other than sequential measurements.
