Entropy and applications of the area law in open quantum systems

Quantum Physics 2019-10-02 v1

Abstract

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 interaction between the physical system and the environment. We examine the consequences of these spectral and structural properties on simple but general systems in the case of deterministic (non stochastic) interactions of arbitrary strength. The central point of interest concerns the role played by the semi-group property of the interaction in its relation with entropy and area laws properties of the system of interest.
