Information on quantum systems can be obtained only when they are open (or opened) in relation to a certain environment. As a matter of fact, realistic open quantum systems appear in very different shape. We sketch the theoretical…

Quantum brachistochrone method has recently emerged as a technique allowing one to implement the desired unitary evolution operator in a physical system within the minimal time. Here, we apply this approach to the problem of time-optimal…
Non-Hermitian PT-symmetric quantum-mechanical Hamiltonians generally exhibit a phase transition that separates two parametric regions, (i) a region of unbroken PT symmetry in which the eigenvalues are all real, and (ii) a region of broken…
We consider a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian in order to effectively describe a two-level system coupled to a generic dissipative environment. The total Hamiltonian of the model is obtained by adding a general anti-Hermitian part, depending on…
Certain aspects of some unitary quantum systems are well-described by evolution via a non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian, as in the Wigner-Weisskopf theory for spontaneous decay. Conversely, any non-Hermitian Hamiltonian evolution can be…
The quantum speed limit (QSL) refers to the maximum speed of a quantum system to evolve from an initial state to its orthogonal states. The bound on the QSL for Hermitian systems, for example the Mandelstam-Tamm (MT) and Margolus-Levitin…
The Hamiltonian for quantum electrodynamics becomes non-Hermitian if the unrenormalized electric charge $e$ is taken to be imaginary. However, if one also specifies that the potential $A^\mu$ in such a theory transforms as a pseudovector…
