1. The Quantum and the Environment
... much of the irrelevant information as possible to describe the dynamics of the system. One approximation in particular that has long been used for open quantum systems is the Markov approximation, wherein it is assumed that only events happening in the present can affect events happening immediately ... , in which case other approximation methods must be used. The physical application of open quantum systems are varied, and we will consider only a few examples here. One application of interest is in quantum computation and quantum state preparation. For both applications, a quantum system...
