Many-mode interacting Bose gases (1D,2D,3D) are simulated from first principles. The model uses a second-quantized Hamiltonian with two-particle interactions (possibly ranged), external potential, and interactions with an environment, with…
"Quantum mechanics must be regarded as open systems. On one hand, this is due to the fact that, like in classical physics, any realistic system is subjected to a coupling to an uncontrollable environment which influences it in a…

Quantum-Induced Stochastic Dynamics arises from the coupling between a classical system and a quantum environment. Unlike standard thermal reservoirs, this environment acts as a dynamic bath, capable of simultaneously exchanging heat and…
