1. The Quantum and the Environment
... to an open quantum system, namely the system itself, the environment, and the interaction between the system and the environment, each of which correspond to a separate Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian gives us information about how each element of the open quantum system evolves over time. However, the bigger the environment, the more information is available about the open quantum system, and the more difficult it is to analyze the dynamics of the system, as there is too much ... long been used for open quantum systems is the Markov approximation, wherein it is assumed that only events ha...
