Dynamics of non-Markovian open quantum systems
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 …

Quantum channels and memory effects
Any physical process can be represented as a quantum channel map** an initial state to a
final state. Hence it can be characterized from the point of view of communication theory, ie …

Reversing the direction of heat flow using quantum correlations
K Micadei, JPS Peterson, AM Souza… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Heat spontaneously flows from hot to cold in standard thermodynamics. However, the latter
theory presupposes the absence of initial correlations between interacting systems. We here …

Collision models can efficiently simulate any multipartite Markovian quantum dynamics
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 …
