Abstract
A time-dependence of the decoherence resulting from an interaction with gra vitons in a thermal state is investigated. The decoherence time can be smal l if the quantum system consists of a large number of particles. In such a case the quantum addition of amplitudes is equivalent to a classical additi on of probabilities.
