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 …

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 …

Quantum Fisher information matrix (QFIM) is a core concept in theoretical quantum
metrology due to the significant importance of quantum Cramér–Rao bound in quantum …

Quantum resource theories (QRTs) offer a highly versatile and powerful framework for
studying different phenomena in quantum physics. From quantum entanglement to quantum …

Recent years have seen tremendous progress in the theoretical understanding of quantum
