Journal Article
González, J. O., Correa, L. A., Nocerino, G., Palao, J. P., Alonso, D., & Adesso, G. (2017). Testing the validity of the ‘local’ and ‘global’ GKLS master equations on an exactly solvable model. Open Systems and Information Dynamics, 24(4), Article e1740010. https://doi.org/10.1142/S1230161217400108

When deriving a master equation for a multipartite weakly-interacting open quantum systems, dissipation is often addressed locally on each component, i.e. ignoring the coherent couplings, which are later added ‘by hand’. Although simple, the resultin... Read More about Testing the validity of the ‘local’ and ‘global’ GKLS master equations on an exactly solvable model.
