Standard theoretical descriptions of the dynamics of open quantum systems rely on the
assumption that the correlations with the environment can be neglected at some reference …

Small, controllable quantum systems, known as quantum probes, have been proposed to
estimate various parameters characterizing complex systems such as the environments of …

We investigate the effect of initial system-environment correlations to improve the estimation
of environment parameters. By employing various physical situations of interest, we present …

The emerging quantum technologies heavily rely on the understanding of dynamics in open
quantum systems. In the Born approximation, the initial system-bath correlations are often …

We study the impact of quantum correlations existing within the system-environment thermal
equilibrium state while estimating the parameters of the spin reservoir. By employing various …

We demonstrate how using two qubits can drastically improve the estimation of environment
parameters compared to using only a single qubit. The two qubits are coupled to a common …

The present work is devoted to studying the entanglement dynamics of two central spins
coupled in a spin environment and subjected, simultaneously, to an external magnetic field …

Open quantum systems are a subject of immense interest as their understanding is crucial in
the implementation of modern quantum technologies. In the study of their dynamics, the role …

We present a general master equation, correct to second order in the system-environment
coupling strength, that takes into account the initial system-environment correlations. We …

Forgetfulness is a common feature of nature. Moreover, without forgetfulness, repeatability
would be impossible. Despite this, small systems constantly leak information about their …
