Bohmian mechanics provides an explanation of quantum phenomena in terms of point-like
particles guided by wave functions. This review focuses on the use of nonrelativistic …

A prominent tool to study the dynamics of open quantum systems is the reduced density
matrix. Yet, approaching open quantum systems by means of state vectors has well known …

The aim of this chapter is to discuss to what extent one of the formulations (interpretations) of
the quantum theory, ie Bohmian mechanics, which provides a singular tool to predict and …

An intrinsic electron injection model for two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials, like graphene,
is presented and its coupling to a recently developed quantum time-dependent Monte Carlo …

After the seminal work of R. Landauer in 1957 relating the electrical resistance of a
conductor to its scattering properties, much progress has been made in our ability to predict …

This chapter discusses how Bohmian mechanics can help us to understand and model the
behavior of novel electron device prototypes at the nanometer and picosecond scales. It …

The extension of the Ramo–Schockley–Pellegrini theorem for quantum systems allows to
define a positive-operator valued measure (POVM) for the total conduction plus …

The work presented in this thesis is dedicated to the understanding of practical and
conceptual challenges in simulating dynamical properties beyond the quasi-static …

When talking about noise in quantum devices two issues must be faced: how to model the
evolution of an electronic system with scattering and how this noise is practically computed …

The so-called Born–Huang ansatz is a fundamental tool in the context of ab-initio molecular
dynamics, viz., it allows effectively separating fast and slow degrees of freedom and thus …
