Abstract
It is shown that the standard reduction procedure (i.e., the calculation of the density matrix of the observable subsystem from the density matrix of a closed quantum system) bringing about decoherence corresponds to the limiting approximation, where the unobservable subsystem is assumed to be in the stationary state with minimum information (infinite temperature). An approximate set of interrelation (correlation) equations for the density matrices of the subsystems is derived. It is shown that the correlation of atom and field can be manifested as the inversion beats of a two-level atom in the known experimental scheme of resonator QED. Experimental observation of such beats would indicate that the observable subsystem (atom) generally conserves information about quantum coherence of the unobservable subsystem (field).
