Dynamically contracted algebra of observables for dissipative quantum systems

arXiv:1511.08132 · doi:10.1088/1751-8121/aa5453

Abstract

A method is discussed to analyze the dynamics of a dissipative quantum system. The method hinges upon the definition of an alternative (time-dependent) product among the observables of the system. In the long time limit this yields a contracted algebra. This contraction irreversibly affects some of the quantum features of the dissipative system.
