Dynamics of non-Markovian open quantum systems

I De Vega, D Alonso - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself

D Frauchiger, R Renner - Nature communications, 2018 - nature.com
