Abstract
The macroscopic fluctuation theory provides a complete hydrodynamic description of non-equilibrium classical diffusive systems. As a first step towards a diffusive theory of open quantum systems, we show how to construct a microscopic open quantum system that exhibits genuine quantum diffusive scaling. Namely, the dynamics is diffusive and the density matrix is entangled in the hydrodynamic length and time scales.
