Open environments for quantum open systems
Michael R. Gallis
The majority of quantum open system models in the literature are simplistic in the sense that they only explicitly account for that part of the environment that directly interacts…

The Emergence of Classicality via Decoherence: Beyond the Caldeira-Legget Environment
Michael R. Gallis
Maximally predictive states, as defined in recent work by Zurek, Habib and Paz, are studied for more elaborate environment models than a linear coupling. An environment model which…

Decoherence and Dissipation for a Quantum System Coupled to a Local Environment
Michael R. Gallis
Decoherence and dissipation in quantum systems has been studied extensively in the context of Quantum Brownian Motion. Effective decoherence in coarse grained quantum systems has b…
