Within a microscopic theory, we study the quantum Brownian motion of a skyrmion in a magnetic insulator coupled to a bath of magnon-like quantum excitations. The intrinsic skyrmion-bath coupling gives rise to damping terms for the skyrmion…

We derive a Born-Markov master equation describing the dissipation induced by a bath of lossy but coherently driven two-level systems (TLS) coupled to a bosonic system via Jaynes-Cummings interaction. We analytically derive all the master…

Matsubara dynamics is the classical dynamics which results when imaginary-time path-integrals are smoothed; it conserves the quantum Boltzmann distribution and appears in drastically approximated form in path-integral dynamics methods such…
