The long-time dynamics of quantum systems, typically, but not always, results in a thermal steady state. The microscopic processes that lead to or circumvent this fate are of interest, since everyday experience tells us that not all spatial…

Common intuition tells us that if one part of a connected system is cooled continuously, the other parts should also cool down. This intuition can be given a microscopic foundation for the case of a generic quantum system coupled to a…

Molecules are many body systems with a substantial amount of entanglement between their electrons. Is there a way to break the molecular bond of a diatomic molecule and obtain two atoms in their ground state which are still entangled and…
