Quantum decoherence plays a pivotal role in the dynamical description of the quantum-to-
classical transition and is the main impediment to the realization of devices for quantum …

Quantum thermodynamics addresses the emergence of thermodynamic laws from quantum
mechanics. The viewpoint advocated is based on the intimate connection of quantum …

Quantum mechanics is an extremely successful theory that agrees with every experimental
test. However, the principle of linear superposition, a central tenet of the theory, apparently …

Over the course of the past decade, decoherence has become a ubiquitous scienti? c term
popular in all kinds of research, from fundamental theories of quantum physics to …

Environment-induced decoherence and superselection have been a subject of intensive
research over the past two decades, yet their implications for the foundational problems of …

Stochastic differential equations describing the Markovian evolution of state vectors in the
quantum Hilbert space are studied as possible expressions of a universal dynamical …

This paper adopts the hypothesis that the absence of macroscopic quantum fluctuations is
due to a certain universal mechanism. Such a mechanism has recently been proposed by …

The control of individual quantum systems is now a reality in a variety of physical settings.
Feedback control is an important class of control methods because of its ability to reduce the …

The report presents an exhaustive review of the recent attempt to overcome the difficulties
that standard quantum mechanics meets in accounting for the measurement (or macro …

New ideas on the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, related to the theory of
quantum measurement, as well as the emergence of quantum optics, quantum electronics …
