Nonequilibrium boundary-driven quantum systems: Models, methods, and properties

GT Landi, D Poletti, G Schaller - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2022 - APS
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
systems driven dissipatively by coupling to different baths at their edges. This was possible …

Dynamics of non-Markovian open quantum systems

I De Vega, D Alonso - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
Open quantum systems (OQSs) cannot always be described with the Markov approximation,
which requires a large separation of system and environment time scales. An overview is …

Open-system dynamics of entanglement: a key issues review

L Aolita, F De Melo, L Davidovich - Reports on Progress in …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
One of the greatest challenges in the fields of quantum information processing and quantum
technologies is the detailed coherent control over each and every constituent of quantum …

Gaussian quantum discord

P Giorda, MGA Paris - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We extend the quantum discord to continuous variable systems and evaluate Gaussian
quantum discord C (ϱ) for bipartite Gaussian states. In particular, for squeezed-thermal …

Quantum optics in the phase space: A tutorial on Gaussian states

S Olivares - The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2012 - Springer
In this tutorial, we introduce the basic concepts and mathematical tools needed for phase-
space description of a very common class of states, whose phase properties are described …

Protecting entanglement via the quantum Zeno effect

S Maniscalco, F Francica, RL Zaffino, N Lo Gullo… - Physical review …, 2008 - APS
We study the exact entanglement dynamics of two atoms in a lossy resonator. Besides
discussing the steady-state entanglement, we show that in the strong coupling regime the …

Measures of non-Markovianity: Divisibility versus backflow of information

D Chruściński, A Kossakowski, Á Rivas - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2011 - APS
We analyze two recently proposed measures of non-Markovianity: one based on the
concept of divisibility of the dynamical map and the other one based on distinguishability of …

Non-Markovian quantum jumps

J Piilo, S Maniscalco, K Härkönen, KA Suominen - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
Open quantum systems that interact with structured reservoirs exhibit non-Markovian
dynamics. We present a quantum jump method for treating the dynamics of such systems …

Ultimate precision limits for noisy frequency estimation

A Smirne, J Kołodyński, SF Huelga… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
Quantum metrology protocols allow us to surpass precision limits typical to classical
statistics. However, in recent years, no-go theorems have been formulated, which state that …

Dynamics of the entanglement between two oscillators in the same environment

JP Paz, AJ Roncaglia - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We provide a complete characterization of the evolution of entanglement between two
resonant oscillators coupled to a common environment. We identify three phases with …
