Kinetic theory for quantum nanosystems
Massimiliano Esposito
In this thesis, we investigate the emergence of kinetic processes in finite quantum systems. We first generalize the Redfield theory to describe the dynamics of a small quantum sys…
Quantum master equation for a system influencing its environment (letter version)
Massimiliano Esposito, Pierre Gaspard
We derive a new perturbative quantum master equation for the reduced density matrix of a system interacting with an environment (with a dense spectrum of energy levels). The total…
Spin relaxation in a complex environment
Massimiliano Esposito, Pierre Gaspard
We report the study of a model of a two-level system interacting in a non-diagonal way with a complex environment described by Gaussian orthogonal random matrices (GORM). The effec…
Quantum master equation for a system influencing its environment
M. Esposito, P. Gaspard
A perturbative quantum master equation is derived for a system interacting with its environment, which is more general than the ones derived before. Our master equation takes into…
