Abstract
Abstract It is argued that the quantal evolution of a physical system is fundamentally irreversible although the dynamical equations are symmetric under time reversal. The example of spin coherence in a Stern-Gerlach interferometer demonstrates that even undoing the evolution partially only may require sub-microscopic precision in controlling a macroscopic apparatus.
