Staying positive: going beyond Lindblad with perturbative master equations
Robert S. Whitney
The perturbative master equation (Bloch-Redfield) is extensively used to study dissipative quantum mechanics - particularly for qubits - despite the 25 year old criticism that it v…

Dephasing in quantum chaotic transport: a semiclassical approach
Robert S. Whitney, Philippe Jacquod, Cyril Petitjean
We investigate the effect of dephasing/decoherence on quantum transport through open chaotic ballistic conductors in the semiclassical limit of small Fermi wavelength to system siz…

Towards a dephasing diode: asymmetric and geometric dephasing
Robert S. Whitney, Alexander Shnirman, Yuval Gefen
We study the effect of a noisy environment on spin and charge transport in ballistic quantum wires with spin-orbit coupling (Rashba coupling). We find that the wire then acts as a…
