Within a generalized Langevin framework for open quantum systems, the cyclic evolution of a two-level system is analyzed in terms of the geometric phase extended to dissipative systems for Ohmic friction. This proposal is applied to the dynamics of chiral molecules where the tunneling and parity violating effects are competing. The effect of different system-bath coupling functions in the dissipated energy is shown to be crucial to understand the behavior of the geometric phase as well as the…

A langevin canonical approach to the dynamics of chiral systems: thermal averages and heat capacity.
TLDR
A Langevin canonical framework for a chiral two-level system coupled to a bath of harmonic oscillators was developed within a coupling scheme different from the well-known spin-boson model, and phase difference thermal values and heat capacity through energy fluctuations were obtained.

Perturbative treatment of quantum to classical transition in chiral molecules: dilute phase versus condensed phase
We examine the dynamics of chiral states of chiral molecules with high tunneling rates in dilute and condensed phases in the context of time-dependent perturbation theory. The chiral molecule is…
Emergence of molecular chirality due to chiral interactions in a biological environment
TLDR
It is shown that, at the weak-coupling limit, chiral interactions prohibit the coherent racemization induced by decoherence effects and thus preserve the initial chiral state.
Bohmian Stochastic Trajectories

TLDR
It is shown that, at resonance, the fluctuations of the first order contribution to the internal energy are zero and some proposals concerning the external driving field are suggested.

An alternative route to detect parity violating energy differences through Bose-Einstein condensation of chiral molecules.
TLDR
A simplified model of Bose-Einstein condensation of a sample of non-interacting chiral molecules is studied, showing that it leads to a nonzero optical activity of the condensate and also to a subcritical temperature in the heat capacity, due to the internal structure of the molecule characterized by tunneling and parity violation.
