We study Markovian random products on a large class of "m-dimensional" connected compact metric spaces (including products of closed intervals and trees). We introduce a splitting condition, generalizing the classical one by Dubins and…
Interaction between a quantum system and its environment can induce stationary coherences -- off-diagonal elements in the reduced system density matrix -- even at equilibrium. This work investigates the ``quantumness'' of such phenomena by…
