The quantum collision models are a useful method to describe the dynamics of an open quantum system by means of repeated interactions between the system and some particles of the environment, which are usually termed “ancillas”. In this paper, we review the main collision models for the dynamics of multipartite open quantum systems, which are composed of several subsystems. In particular, we are interested in models that are based on elementary collisions between the subsystems and the ancillas…

This Perspective paper focuses on collision models, which have emerged as a remarkably flexible approach to understanding non-Markovian dynamics and to studying the thermodynamics of quantum systems, two areas in which they have proven to be particularly insightful.

Master equation for cascade quantum channels: a collisional approach

It has been recently shown that collisional models can be used to derive a general form for the master equations which describe the reduced time evolution of a composite multipartite quantum system,…

The thermodynamic cost of driving quantum systems by their boundaries

This work considers systems actively and locally coupled to the environment, evolving with a so-called boundary-driven Lindblad equation, and shows that an XX chain coupled to a left and a right heat baths behaves as a quantum engine, a heater or refrigerator depending on the parameters, with efficiencies bounded by Carnot efficiencies.

Markovian master equations for quantum thermal machines: local versus global approach

The study of quantum thermal machines, and more generally of open quantum systems, often relies on master equations. Two approaches are mainly followed. On the one hand, there is the widely used, but…
