We investigate the exact solution, perturbation theory and master equation of open system dynamics based on our serial studies on quantum mechanics in general quantum systems [An Min Wang, quant-ph/0611216 and quant-ph/0611217]. In a…
Bloch-Redfield equation is a common tool for studying evolution of qubit systems weakly coupled to environment. We investigate the accuracy of the Born approximation underlying this equation. We find that the high order terms in the…
It is very common in the literature to write down a Markovian quantum master equation in Lindblad form to describe a system with multiple degrees of freedom and weakly connected to multiple thermal baths which can, in general, be at…
The Redfield equation describes the dynamics of a quantum system weakly coupled to one or more reservoirs and is widely used in theory of open quantum system. However, the assumption of weak system-reservoir coupling is often not fully…
We describe a method to obtain the reduced density matrix (RDM) correct up to second order in system-bath coupling in \emph{nonequilibrium} steady state situations. The RDM is obtained via a scheme based on analytic continuation, using the…
We present here a brief overview of our work in developing a convolutionless quantum master equation approach suitable for mesoscopic sized systems. Our final equation can be used in the regimes where the golden rule approach is not…
Data of the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation of a system containing one spin-1/2 particle interacting with a bath of up to 32 spin-1/2 particles is used to construct a Markovian quantum master equation…
We derive a non-Markovian master equation for a charged particle in a magnetic field coupled to a bath and study decoherence by analysing the temporal decay of the off-diagonal elements of the reduced density matrix in the position basis.…
Master equations under appropriate assumptions are efficient tools for the study of open quantum systems. For many-body systems, subsystems of which locally couple to thermal baths and weakly interact with each other, the local approach…
Evaluating the time-dependent dynamics of driven open quantum systems is relevant for a theoretical description of many systems, including molecular junctions, quantum dots, cavity-QED experiments, cold atoms experiments and more. Here, we…
Following the ideas N. N. Bogoliubov used to derive the classical and quantum nonlinear kinetic equations, we give an alternative derivation of the Redfield quantum linear master equation, which is widely used in the theory of open quantum…
We discuss mapping the Bloch-Redfield master-equation to Lindblad form and then unravelling the resulting evolution into a stochastic Schr\"odinger equation according to the quantum-jump method. We give two approximations under which this…
In a previous work we developed a field theoretical approach to open quantum systems using condensed matter methods. In the Born approximation we derived the Redfield equation on the basis of a multi-oscillator bath, a Dyson equation, a…
We study the time dynamics of the ohmic spin boson model at arbitrary bias $\epsilon$ and small coupling $\alpha$ to the bosonic bath. Using perturbation theory and the real-time renormalization group (RG) method we present a consistent…
We revisit the model of a quantum Brownian oscillator linearly coupled to an environment of quantum oscillators at finite temperature. By introducing a compact and particularly well-suited formulation, we give a rather quick and direct…
We generalize the method of third quantization to a unified exact treatment of Redfield and Lindblad master equations for open quadratic systems of n fermions in terms of diagonalization of 4n x 4n matrix. Non-equilibrium thermal driving in…
We re-consider the old problem of Brownian motion in homogeneous high-temperature thermal environment. The semiclassical theory implies that the diffusion coefficient does not depend on whether the thermal fluctuations are correlated in…
A perturbative quantum master equation is derived for a system interacting with its environment, which is more general than the ones derived before. Our master equation takes into account the effect of the energy exchanges between the…
Recently, Nathan and Rudner derived a Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equation from the Redfield equation. The claim is that the level of approximation is equal to that of the Redfield equation. Here we benchmark the…
The time-convolutionless quantum master equation is an exact description of the nonequilibrium dynamics of open quantum systems, with the advantage of being local in time. We derive a perturbative expansion to arbitrary order in the…
