Stochastic Wave-Function Unravelling of the Generalized Lindblad Master Equation
Mervlyn Moodley, Francesco Petruccione
Recently a generalized master equation was derived that extends the Lindblad theory to highly non-Markovian quantum processes (H.-P. Breuer, Phys. Rev. A \textbf{75}, 022103 (2007)…
Kinetic description of quantum Brownian motion
Bassano Vacchini, Francesco Petruccione
We stress the relevance of the two features of translational invariance and atomic nature of the gas in the quantum description of the motion of a massive test particle in a gas, c…
Quantumness Witnesses
Robert Alicki, Marco Piani, Nicholas Van Ryn
A recently proposed test of quantumness [R. Alicki and N. Van Ryn, J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 41 062001 (2008)] is put into a broader mathematical and physical perspective. The notio…
Dynamics of nonequilibrium thermal entanglement
Ilya Sinaysky, Francesco Petruccione, Daniel Burgarth
The dynamics of a simple spin chain (2 spins) coupled to bosonic baths at different temperatures is studied. The analytical solution for the reduced density matrix of the system is…
Nosé-Hoover Dynamics in Quantum Phase Space
Alessandro Sergi, Francesco Petruccione
Thermal fluctuations in time-dependent quantum processes are treated by a constant-temperature generalization of Wigner's formulation of quantum mechanics in phase space. To this e…
A Factorization Law for Entanglement Decay
Thomas Konrad, Fernando de Melo, Markus Tiersch +3
We present a simple and general factorization law for quantum systems shared by two parties, which describes the time evolution of entanglement upon passage of either component thr…
