Open quantum systems at finite temperature
Jean Richert, Tarek Khalil
The consistent definition of the thermodynamic functions of small open quantum systems in contact with an environment in equilibrium with a heat bath has been the subject of many d…
Entropy and applications of the area law in open quantum systems
Tarek Khalil, Jean Richert
Open quantum systems interact with their environment and their dynamical behaviour depends strongly both on the spectral properties of the environment and the structure of the inte…
Evolution of open quantum systems: time scales, stochastic and continuous processes
Tarek Khalil, Jean Richert
The study of the physical properties of open quantum systems is at the heart of many present investigations which aim to describe their dynamical evolution, on theoretical ground a…
Structure of the interaction and energy transfer between an open quantum system and its environment
Tarek Khalil, Jean Richert
Due to the coupling of a quantum system to its environment energy can be transfered between the two subsystems in both directions. In the present study we consider this process in…
Divisibility and coherence properties of an open quantum system: role of the interaction with the environment
Tarek Khalil, Jean Richert
In the present work we recall and extend the results of previous work concerning the time evolution of open quantum systems. We show how general properties of such systems are rela…
Quantum speed limit of a non-decoherent open system
Jean Richert, Tarek Khalil
We study the minimum time related to the quantum speed limit that characterizes the evolution of an open quantum system with the help of a simple model in the short and long time l…
