The environment of an open quantum system is usually modelled as a large many-body quantum system. However, when an isolated quantum system itself is a many-body quantum system, the question of how large and complex it must be in order to…

Except for the universe, all quantum systems are open, and according to quantum state diffusion theory, many systems localize to wave packets in the neighborhood of phase space points. This is due to decoherence from the interaction with…
We assess the probability of resonances between sufficiently distant states in a combinatorial graph serving as the configuration space of an N-particle disordered quantum system. This includes the cases where the transition "shuffles" the…
