A kinetic theory for quantum information transport

Abstract

In this work we build a theoretical framework for the transport of information in quantum systems. This is a framework aimed at describing how out of equilibrium open quantum systems move information around their state space, using an approach inspired by transport theories. The main goal is to build new mathematical tools, together with physical intuition, to improve our understanding of non-equilibrium phenomena in quantum systems. In particular, we are aiming at unraveling the interplay between dynamical properties and information-theoretic features. The main rationale here is to have a framework that can imitate, and potentially replicate, the decades-long history of success of transport theories in modeling non-equilibrium phenomena.
