Lectures Series: Theory of Open Quantum Systems
Dr. Ilya Sinayskiy
NITheP and University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, South Africa

In this short lecture course, I will glide through some basics of the theory of “Open Quantum Systems”.

Lecture 1: 10:30-11:30, Friday, 12 February @C016, Lab 1→B712, Lab3
Quantum Master Equation in the Lindblad (GKSL)Form, derivation and simple examples. Kraus representation of the Open Quantum System dynamics.

Lecture 2: 15:00-16:00, Monday, 15 February @ C016, Lab 1→B712, Lab 3
Coherent states for bosonic and spin systems. Glauber-Sudarshan P representation for dissipative dynamics of bosonic and spin systems. Fokker-Planck equation and its solution.

Lecture 3: 10:30-11:30, Wednesday, 17 February @ C016, Lab 1→B712, Lab3
Projection operator approach to the description of open quantum systems. Time local and time non-local quantum master equations. Examples of exactly solvable Open Quantum Systems.

 Looking forward to seeing many of you at the lecture.
