Effective-Hamiltonian Theory of Open Quantum Systems at Strong Coupling
Nicholas Anto-Sztrikacs, Ahsan Nazir, Dvira Segal
Abstract
A new technique for open quantum dynamics, combining reaction coordinate mappings and the polaron transform, allows for efficient description of strong system-bath couplings, opening the way for novel applications in nanoscale transport and thermodynamics.
