We present an extensive introduction to quantum collision models (CMs), also known as
repeated interactions schemes: a class of microscopic system–bath models for investigating …

We present a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the concept of quantum non-
Markovianity, a central theme in the theory of open quantum systems. We introduce the …

Quantum heat engines (QHE) are thermal machines where the working substance is a
quantum object. In the extreme case, the working medium can be a single particle or a few …

The field of classical stochastic processes forms a major branch of mathematics. Stochastic
processes are, of course, also very well studied in biology, chemistry, ecology, geology …

To write an introduction to the dynamics of open quantum systems may seem at first a
complicated, albeit perhaps unnecessary, task. On the one hand, the field is quite broad and …

Any physical process can be represented as a quantum channel mapping an initial state to a
final state. Hence it can be characterized from the point of view of communication theory, ie …

Engineered dissipative reservoirs have the potential to steer many-body quantum systems
toward correlated steady states useful for quantum simulation of high-temperature …

Quantum collision models (CMs) provide advantageous case studies for investigating major
issues in open quantum systems theory, and especially quantum non-Markovianity. After …

Thermodynamics connects our knowledge of the world to our capability to manipulate and
thus to control it. This crucial role of control is exemplified by the third law of …

We present a theoretical framework to tackle quantum non-Markovian dynamics based on a
microscopic collision model (CM), where the bath consists of a large collection of initially …
