We have discussed a consistency condition of Berry phases defined by a local gauge twist and spatial symmetries of the many body system. It imposes a non trivial gap closing condition under the gauge twist in both finite- and infinite-size…
We review our recent contributions to two topics that have become of interest in the field of open, dissipative quantum systems: non-Gaussian noise and decoherence in fermionic systems. Decoherence by non-Gaussian noise, i.e. by an…

We consider a two-level system coupled to a highly non-Markovian environment when the coupling axis rotates with time. The environment may be quantum (for example a bosonic bath or a spin bath) or classical (such as classical noise). We…
