    "abstract": "A general semiclassical approach to quantum systems with system-bath\ninteractions is developed. We study system decoherence in detail using a\ncoherent state semiclassical wavepacket method which avoids singularity issues\narising in the usual Green\u0027s function approach. We discuss the general\nconditions under which it is approximately correct to discuss quantum\ndecoherence in terms of a ``dephasing\u0027\u0027 picture and we derive semiclassical\nexpressions for the phase and phase distribution. Remarkably, an effective\nsystem wavefunction emerges whose norm measures the decoherence and is\nequivalent to a density matrix formulation.",
