A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) materials, such as
MoS 2, WS 2, MoSe 2, and WSe 2, have received extensive attention in the past decade due …

Engines are systems and devices that convert one form of energy into another, typically into
a more useful form that can perform work. In the classical setup, physical, chemical, and …

The dynamical convergence of a system to the thermal distribution, or Gibbs state, is a
standard assumption across all of the physical sciences. The Gibbs state is determined just …

We generalize the classical thermal Mpemba effect (where an initially hot system relaxes
faster to the final equilibrium state than a cold one) to open quantum systems coupled to …

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 …

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 …

Critical metrology relies on the precise preparation of a system in its ground state near a
quantum phase transition point where quantum correlations get very strong. Typically, this …

Dissipative collective effects are ubiquitous in quantum physics and their relevance ranges
from the study of entanglement in biological systems to noise mitigation in quantum …
