We present an extensive introduction to quantum collision models (CMs), also known as
repeated interactions schemes: a class of microscopic system–bath models for investigating …

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 study of open quantum systems often relies on approximate master equations derived
under the assumptions of weak coupling to the environment. However when the system is …

Understanding and simulating how a quantum system interacts and exchanges information
or energy with its surroundings is a ubiquitous problem, one which must be carefully …

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 …

With the rapid progress in quantum hardware, there has been an increased interest in new
quantum algorithms to describe complex many-body systems searching for the still-elusive …

Machine learning methods have proved to be useful for the recognition of patterns in
statistical data. The measurement outcomes are intrinsically random in quantum physics …

We develop a resource-theoretic framework that allows one to bridge the gap between two
approaches to quantum thermodynamics based on Markovian thermal processes (which …

Quantum systems interacting with an unknown environment are notoriously difficult to
model, especially in presence of non-Markovian and non-perturbative effects. Here we …

In recent years, quantum collision models, sometimes dubbed repeated interaction models,
have gained much attention due to their simplicity and their capacity to convey ideas without …
