In the never ending quest to understand a complicated idea for which I completely lack the academic requirements to do so, I'd like to ask a few basic questions that I hope will allow simple yes/no responses (to ease the frustration of the physicist/mathematician contributors). Sadly, the answer of "Your question makes no sense" is also a very real possibility, so we might abbreviate that response to "Ugh" for simplicity sake.
First question: In terms of decoherence, does the emission of a photon from a particle constitute a physical interaction with the environment/system in a similar manner to the absorption of a photon?
