Phase space theory of quantum–classical systems with nonlinear and stochastic dynamics
Open Quantum Systems and Decoherence
TLDR
The concept of decoherence in quantum systems is discussed, the description of Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems, including simulations with quantum jumps, are addressed, and some of these concepts are extended to a certain type of non-Markovan dynamics that can arise in quantum Systems which are coupled to some environment possessing nontrivial spectral structure.

TLDR
A formalism for studying the dynamics of quantum systems embedded in classical spin baths based on generalized antisymmetric brackets and predicts the presence of open-path off-diagonal geometric phases in the evolution of the density matrix.
Perturbative approach to Markovian open quantum systems
TLDR
This work presents a perturbative treatment of Markovian open quantum systems which will be useful for an analytical understanding ofopen quantum systems and for numerical calculation of system observables which would otherwise be impractical.
Correlation Functions in Open Quantum-Classical Systems
TLDR
This work presents a general scheme for the computation of correlation functions, which preserves the full quantum equilibrium structure of the system and approximates the time evolution with quantum-classical Liouville dynamics.
Quantum semi-Markov processes.
We construct a large class of non-Markovian master equations that describe the dynamics of open quantum systems featuring strong memory effects, which relies on a quantum generalization of the…
State space distribution and dynamical flow for closed and open quantum systems
We present a general formalism for studying the effects of dynamical heterogeneity in open quantum systems. We develop this formalism in the state space of density operators, on which ensembles of…
Non-Markovian generalization of the Lindblad theory of open quantum systems
A systematic approach to the non-Markovian quantum dynamics of open systems is given by the projection operator techniques of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics. Combining these methods with…
Geometry of quantum states: an introduction to quantum entanglement by Ingemar Bengtsson and Karol Zyczkowski
TLDR
The goal of this book is to clarify the role of quantum entanglement in the study of convexity, colours and statistics and to show how this role has changed in the history of science.
