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 …

Open quantum systems (OQSs) cannot always be described with the Markov approximation,
which requires a large separation of system and environment time scales. An overview is …

In Floquet engineering, periodic driving is used to realize novel phases of matter that are
inaccessible in thermal equilibrium. For this purpose, the Floquet theory provides us a recipe …

To write an introduction to the dynamics of open quantum systems may seem at first a
complicated, albeit perhaps unnecessary, task. On the one hand, the field is quite broad 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 …

Fluctuation theorems (FTs), which describe some universal properties of nonequilibrium
fluctuations, are examined from a quantum perspective and derived by introducing a two …

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 …

The first book dedicated to this new and powerful computational method begins with a
comprehensive description of MCTDH and its theoretical background. There then follows a …

We derive an exact (classical and quantum) expression for the entropy production of a finite
system placed in contact with one or several finite reservoirs, each of which is initially …

When deriving a master equation for a multipartite weakly-interacting open quantum
systems, dissipation is often addressed locally on each component, ie ignoring the coherent …
