N Anto-Sztrikacs, A Nazir, D Segal - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS
We present the reaction-coordinate polaron-transform (RCPT) framework for generating
effective-Hamiltonian models to treat nonequilibrium open quantum systems at strong …

Canonically consistent quantum master equation

T Becker, A Schnell, J Thingna - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We put forth a new class of quantum master equations that correctly reproduce the
asymptotic state of an open quantum system beyond the infinitesimally weak system-bath …

Cyclic quantum engines enhanced by strong bath coupling

CL Latune, G Pleasance, F Petruccione - Physical Review Applied, 2023 - APS
While strong system-bath coupling produces rich and interesting phenomena, applications
to quantum thermal engines have been so far pointing mainly at detrimental effects. The …

Quantum master equations and steady states for the ultrastrong-coupling limit and the strong-decoherence limit

A Trushechkin - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
In the framework of the theory of open quantum systems, we derive quantum master
equations for the ultrastrong system-bath coupling regime and, more generally, the strong …

Corrections to the Hamiltonian induced by finite-strength coupling to the environment

M Łobejko, M Winczewski, G Suárez, R Alicki… - Physical Review E, 2024 - APS
If a quantum system interacts with the environment, then the Hamiltonian acquires a
correction known as the Lamb-shift term. There are two other corrections to the Hamiltonian …

Stochastic simulation of dissipative quantum oscillators

CR Hogg, J Glatthard, F Cerisola, J Anders - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Generic open quantum systems are notoriously difficult to simulate unless one looks at
specific regimes. In contrast, classical dissipative systems can often be effectively described …

Page-curve-like entanglement dynamics in open quantum systems

J Glatthard - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The entanglement entropy of a black hole and that of its Hawking radiation are expected to
follow the so-called Page curve: After an increase in line with Hawking's calculation, it is …

Strong-coupling quantum thermodynamics of quantum Brownian motion based on the exact solution of its reduced density matrix

CZ Yao, WM Zhang - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We derive the quantum thermodynamics of quantum Brownian motion from the exact
solution of its reduced density matrix. We start from the total equilibrium thermal state …
