Markovian approximation is a widely-employed idea in descriptions of the dynamics of open
quantum systems (OQSs). Although it is usually claimed to be a concept inspired by …

Investigations of quantum and mesoscopic thermodynamics force one to answer two
fundamental questions associated with the foundations of statistical mechanics:(i) how does …

This book presents the essential ideas of coherent states and provides researchers and
graduate students with the necessary tools for various applications of generalized coherent …

Thermodynamics is built with the concept of equilibrium states. However, it is less clear how
equilibrium thermodynamics emerges through the dynamics that follows the principle of …

In this paper, we investigate the strong-coupling quantum thermodynamics of a hybrid
quantum system far from equilibrium, based on the renormalization theory of quantum …

We investigate the qubit in the hierarchical environment where the first layer is just one lossy
cavity while the second layer is the N-coupled lossy cavities. In the weak-coupling regime …

In this paper, we use the exact master equation approach to investigate the decoherence
dynamics of Majorana zero modes in the Kitaev model, a 1D p-wave spinless topological …

We discuss the failure of the Markov approximation in the description of atom-surface
fluctuation-induced interactions, both in equilibrium (Casimir-Polder forces) and out of …

Quantum non-Markovianity is crucially related to the study of dynamical maps, which are
usually derived for initially factorized system-bath states. We demonstrate that linear …
