Quantum Dissipative Systems
by F. Guinea, E. Bascones, M.J. Calderon
1998
Number of pages: 81
Description:
One of the most interesting topic of quantum mechanics is the study of open quantum systems. By it, we mean a simple quantum system, described by one or a few degrees of freedom, interacting with a background characterized by a continuum of excitations.
