Simulation of open quantum systems

Dynamics and Simulation of Open Quantum Systems

All systems are open to an essentially uncontrollable environment that acts as a source of decoherence and dissipation. In some cases the environment’s only effect is to add a weak relaxation mechanism and thus can be ignored for short timescales. In others, however, the presence of the environment can fundamentally alter the behavior of the system. Such is the case in mesoscopic superconductor...

open quantum systems

Quantum mechanics must be regarded as open systems. On one hand, this is due to the fact that, like in classical physics, any realistic system is subjected to a coupling to an uncontrollable environment which influences it in a non-negligible way. The theory of open quantum systems thus play a major role in many applications of quantum physics since perfect isolation of quantum system is not po...

Theory of open quantum systems

A quantum dissipation theory is constructed with the system–bath interaction being treated rigorously at the second-order cumulant level for both reduced dynamics and initial canonical boundary condition. The theory is valid for arbitrary bath correlation functions and time-dependent external driving fields, and satisfies correlated detailed-balance relation at any temperatures. The general for...
