repeated interactions schemes: a class of microscopic system–bath models for investigating …

Nonequilibrium boundary-driven quantum systems: Models, methods, and properties

GT Landi, D Poletti, G Schaller - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2022 - APS
Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
