Lecture Notes on the Theory of Open Quantum Systems
by Daniel A. Lidar
Publisher: arXiv.org 2019
Number of pages: 131
Description:
This is a self-contained set of lecture notes covering various aspects of the theory of open quantum system, at a level appropriate for a one-semester graduate course. The main emphasis is on completely positive maps and master equations, both Markovian and non-Markovian.

Quantum Fluctuations
by Edward Nelson - Princeton University Press
This book deals with the kinematics of diffusion processes. The dynamical equations are derived from a variational principle, and interference, the asymptotics of free motion, bound states, statistics, and spin are described in classical terms.

An Introduction to Many Worlds in Quantum Computation
by Clare Hewitt-Horsman - arXiv
This paper introduces one interpretation of quantum mechanics, a modern 'many-worlds' theory, from the perspective of quantum computation. Reasons for seeking to interpret quantum mechanics are discussed, then the specific theory is introduced.

Quantum Mechanics Revisited
by Jean Claude Dutailly - arXiv
From a general study of the relations between models, meaning the set of variables with their mathematical properties, and the measures they represent, a new formalism is developed, which covers the scope of Quantum Mechanics.

Nonequilibrium Relativistic Quantum Many-Body Theory
by Hendrik van Hees - Frankfurt Institute of Advanced Studies
The following manuscript aims at an introduction to modern methods in relativistic quantum many-body theory. We introduce many-body techniques, using relativistic quantum field theory, emphasizing the so-called real-time formulation.
