    "abstract": "We deduce from a microscopic point of view the equation that describes how\nthe state of a particle crossing a medium decoheres. We apply our results to\nthe example of a particle crossing a gas, computing explicitly the Lindblad\noperators in terms of the interaction potential between the particle and a\ntarget of the medium. We interpret the imaginary part of the refraction index\nas a loss of quantum coherence, that is reflected in the disappearance of\ninterference patterns in a Young experiment.",
