Lindblad Equation in Open Quantum Systems - Class 1

Explore the fundamentals of open quantum systems in this comprehensive lecture on the Lindblad equation. Delve into the first class of a minicourse presented by Jamir Marino from JGU/Mainz, Germany, as part of the ICTP-SAIFR program. Learn about the essential concepts, mathematical formulations, and applications of the Lindblad equation in describing the dynamics of open quantum systems. Gain insights into how this powerful tool is used to model quantum dissipation and decoherence. This hour-long session serves as an excellent introduction to the topic, setting the foundation for further exploration of collisional models and path integrals in subsequent classes of the minicourse scheduled from July 1 to 5, 2024.
