We use the classical correlation between a quantum system being measured and its measurement apparatus to analyze the amount of information being retrieved in a quantum measurement process. Accounting for decoherence of the apparatus, we show that these correlations may have a sudden transition from a decay regime to a constant level. This transition characterizes a nonasymptotic emergence of the pointer basis, while the system apparatus can still be quantum correlated. We provide a formalization of the concept of emergence of a pointer basis in an apparatus subject to decoherence. This contrast of the pointer basis emergence to the quantum to classical transition is demonstrated in an experiment with polarization entangled photon pairs.

Starting in early infancy, our perception and predictions are rooted in strong expectations about the behavior of everyday objects. These intuitive physics expectations have been demonstrated in numerous behavioral experiments, showing that even pre-verbal infants are surprised when something impossible happens (e.g.

Unlabelled: Dispersal is an important behavior in many animals, with profound effects on individual fitness and the evolutionary trajectories of populations. This is especially true within taxa with particular life-history strategies, for example those that exploit ephemeral habitat. Further, dispersal is commonly seen to be part of behavioral syndromes - suites of traits that covary across behavioral contexts.

Article Synopsis
- Intracranial calcification (ICC) is a common sign in various neurological disorders, both genetic and acquired, often aiding in diagnosis.
- Key conditions linked to ICC include Aicardi-Goutières syndrome (AGS), Coats plus (CP), and leukoencephalopathy with calcifications and cysts (LCC), which exhibit distinct clinical and imaging characteristics.
- AGS is caused by mutations affecting interferon regulation, while LCC and CP are related to different genetic mutations but present similar neuroimaging patterns.
