Abstract:	We analyze a microscopic decoherence model in which the total system is described as a spin gas. A spin gas consists of N classically moving particles with additional, interacting quantum degrees of freedom (e. g. , spins). For various multipartite entangled probe states, we analyze the decoherence induced by interactions between the probe and environmental spins in such spin gases. We can treat mesoscopic environments (≈105 particles). We present results for a lattice gas, which could be realized by neutral atoms hopping in an optical lattice, and show the effects of non-Markovian and correlated noise, as well as finite-size effects.
