When deriving a master equation for a multipartite weakly-interacting open quantum
systems, dissipation is often addressed locally on each component, ie ignoring the coherent …

An approach for analytical description of thermal processes in harmonic lattices is
presented. We cover longitudinal and transverse vibrations of chains and out-of-plane …

Generic open quantum systems are notoriously difficult to simulate unless one looks at
specific regimes. In contrast, classical dissipative systems can often be effectively described …

We study the asymptotic dynamics of arbitrary linear quantum open systems that are
periodically driven while coupled with generic bosonic reservoirs. We obtain exact results for …

We consider a finite quantum system under slow driving and weakly coupled to thermal
reservoirs at different temperatures. We present a systematic derivation of the quantum …

We perform a numerical study of transport properties of a one-dimensional chain with
couplings decaying as an inverse power r−(1+ σ) of the intersite distance r and open …

We address the problem of heat transport in a chain of coupled quantum harmonic
oscillators, exposed to the influences of local environments of various nature, stressing the …

Often, the microscopic interaction mechanism of an open quantum system gives rise to
acounter term'which renormalises the system Hamiltonian. Such term compensates for the …

The reaction-coordinate mapping is a useful technique to study complex quantum
dissipative dynamics into structured environments. In essence, it aims to mimic the original …

We study a driven harmonic oscillator operating an Otto cycle by strongly interacting with two
thermal baths of finite size. Using the tools of Gaussian quantum mechanics, we directly …
