This paper is about well-posedness and realizability of the kinetic equation for gas-particle flows and its relationship to the Generalized Langevin Model (GLM) PDF equation. Previous analyses claim that this kinetic equation is ill-posed,…
We study two classes of open systems: discrete-time quantum walks (a type of Floquet-engineered discrete quantum map) and the Lindblad master equation (a general framework of dissipative quantum systems), focusing on the non-equilibrium…
We show that all non-relativistic quantum processes, whether open or closed, are either unitary or probabilistic unitary, i.e., probabilistic combination of unitary evolutions. This means that for open quantum systems, its continuous…
