    "abstract": "We analyze the coherence properties of polarized neutrons, after they have\ninteracted with a magnetic field or a phase shifter undergoing different kinds\nof statistical fluctuations. We endeavor to probe the degree of disorder of the\ndistribution of the phase shifts by means of the loss of quantum mechanical\ncoherence of the neutron. We find that the notion of entropy of the shifts and\nthat of decoherence of the neutron do not necessarily agree. In some cases the\nneutron wave function is more coherent, even though it has interacted with a\nmore disordered medium.",
