The initial state of the electron is the superposition of two spatially localized distant bumps moving towards each other, and the phonons are in a thermal state. We investigate the dynamics of the system in the kinetic regime and show that the time evolution makes the non-diagonal terms of the density matrix of the electron decay, destroying the interference between the two bumps. We show that such a damping effect is exponential in time, and the related decay rate is proportional to the total scattering cross section of the electron-phonon interaction.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":132,"doi":"10.1007/s10955-008-9561-8","page":"301 - 328","type":"journal_article","_id":"2754","publication":"Journal of Statistical Physics","issue":"2","publication_status":"published"}
