The majority of quantum open system models in the literature are simplistic in the sense that they only explicitly account for that part of the environment that directly interacts with the system of interest. A quantum open system with an…

We study thermalization in open quantum systems using the Lindblad formalism. A method that both thermalizes and couples to Lindblad operators only at edges of the system is introduced. Our method leads to a Gibbs state of the system,…
Understanding and simulating how a quantum system interacts and exchanges information or energy with its surroundings is a ubiquitous problem, one which must be carefully addressed in order to establish a coherent framework to describe the…
