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 …

The inexorable miniaturisation of technologies, the relentless drive to improve efficiency and
the enticing prospect of boosting performance through quantum effects are all compelling …

The study of open quantum systems often relies on approximate master equations derived
under the assumptions of weak coupling to the environment. However when the system is …

The study of quantum thermal machines, and more generally of open quantum systems,
often relies on master equations. Two approaches are mainly followed. On the one hand …

Open systems of coupled qubits are ubiquitous in quantum physics. Finding a suitable
master equation to describe their dynamics is therefore a crucial task that must be …

Derivation of a quantum master equation for a system weakly coupled to a bath which takes
into account nonsecular effects, but nevertheless has the mathematically correct Gorini …

Quantum Thermodynamics is a continuous dialogue between two independent theories:
Thermodynamics and Quantum Mechanics. Whenever the two theories have addressed the …

We introduce the multipartite collision model, defined in terms of elementary interactions
between subsystems and ancillas, and show that it can simulate the Markovian dynamics of …

It is very common in the literature to write a Markovian quantum master equation in Lindblad
form to describe a system with multiple degrees of freedom and weakly connected to …

A deeper understanding of the differences between quantum and classical dynamics
promises great potential for emerging technologies. Nevertheless, some aspects remain …
