We provide the exact analytic solution of the stochastic Schrödinger equation describing a harmonic oscillator interacting with a non-Markovian and dissipative environment. This result represents an arrival point in the study of non-Markovian dynamics via stochastic differential equations. It is also one of the few exactly solvable models for infinite-dimensional systems. We compute the Green's function; in the case of a free particle and with an exponentially correlated noise, we discuss the…

Semi-classical path integral expression for a quantum system coupled to a harmonic bath is derived based on the stationary phase condition. It is discovered that the system path is non-Markovian.…
Non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equation at finite temperatures for charge carrier dynamics in organic crystals.
TLDR
A new non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equation at finite temperatures is presented to correctly describe charge carrier dynamics in organic molecular crystals and the results manifest that the non- Markovian effect and complex-valued random forces are essential to guarantee the detailed balance.
Testing continuous spontaneous localization with Fermi liquids
Collapse models describe phenomenologically the quantum-to-classical transition by adding suitable nonlinear and stochastic terms to the Schrodinger equation, thus (slightly) modifying the dynamics…

This work analyzes the possibility of modeling the perturbation induced by non-simulated degrees of freedom on the simulated ones as a transition between single-particle pure states in Bohmian conditional wave functions.
Non-Markov Processes in Quantum Theory
TLDR
Basic notions in the framework of open quantum systems are introduced, stressing in particular analogies and differences with models used for introducing modifications of quantum mechanics which should help in dealing with the measurement problem.
Photonic Crystal with Infinite Cavity-array Structure
TLDR
The exact non-Markovian dynamics of a multi-qubit system coupled to a photonic-crystal waveguide with infinite cavity-array structure is studied and it is found that the non- Markovian effect tends to preserve the system in its initial state.
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 given of some of the most…

Different types of open quantum systems evolving in a Markovian regime
The interaction between an open quantum system and its environment induces generally memory effects generated by the fact that the response of the system to the environment is not instantaneous.…
