Quantum Brownian Motion Revisited

Extensions and Applications

af Aniello Lampo

Quantum Brownian motion represents a paradigmatic model of open quantum system, namely a system inextricably coupled to the surrounding environment. Such a model is largely used in physics, for instance in quantum foundations to approach in a quantitative manner the quantum-to-classical transition, but also for more practical purposes as the estimation of decoherence in quantum optics experiments.This book presents the main techniques aimed to treat the dynamics of the quantum Brownian particle:...
