It is shown that if the decoherence matrix corresponding to a qubit master equation has a block-diagonal real part, then the evolution is determined by a one-dimensional oscillator equation. Further, when the full decoherence matrix is…
Decoherence of a quantum system (which then starts to display classical features) results from the interaction of the system with the environment, and is well described in the framework of the theory of continuous quantum measurements…

Collective radiance effects in quantum degenerate systems, such as superradiance and subradiance of a partially inverted ensemble, are shaped by the interplay of spatial confinement and exchange statistics. We investigate this interplay…

Decays of heavier neutrino mass eigenstates into lighter ones, while very slow in the Standard Model, can be significantly enhanced in scenarios with more than three neutrino flavours, or in models with new ultra-light particles such as…
In this work we investigate the relation between quantum measurements and decoherence, in order to formally express the necessity of the latter for obtaining an informative output from the former. To this aim, referring to the Von Neumann…

A qubit (containing two quantum states, 1 and 2), is coupled to a control register (state 3), which is subject to telegraph noise. We study the time evolution of the density matrix $\rho$ of an electron which starts in some coherent state…

The evolution of two qubits coupled by a general nonlocal interaction is studied in two distinct regimes. In the first regime the purity of the individual qubits is interchanged through the entanglement shared by the two. We illustrate how…
