Welcome to the website of the
Madrid Workshop on Open Quantum Systems
The goal of this workshop is to bring together young and more advanced researchers currently involved in the study of system-environment interactions.
Over the past few years there has been intense interest in the study of systems interacting with their environment, from regimes where the latter is characterized by fast fluctuations (Markovian models) to other, more complicated situations where the system vs bath time scales are similar. In the latter case, more refined, non-Markovian models have to be developed.
The meeting is expected to cover a broad range of physical problems where system-environment interactions are relevant, such as quantum transport phenomena, energy transfer processes or quantum information processing, as well as the theoretical and numerical techniques designed in the last years to tackle them.
This is an initiative of the
COST Action Fundamental Problems in Quantum Physics
(in particular, the working group Effective description of complex systems), aimed at encouraging the formation of a united platform of researchers devoted to the full understanding of quantum processes and phenomena at a fundamental level.
