• Abstract: A case study of the non-equilibrium dynamics of open quantum systems in the markovian approximation is presented for two dynamical models based on a single harmonic oscillator in an external field. Specified through distinct forms of ohmic damping, their quantum Langevin equations are derived from an identical set of physical criteria, namely the canonical commutator between position and momentum, the Kubo formula, the virial theorem and the quantum equilibrium variance. The associated Lindblad equations are derived but only one of them is completely positive. Transforming those into Fokker-Planck equations for the Wigner functions, both models are shown to evolve towards the same Gibbs state, for a vanishing external field. The phenomenological differences between the models are illustrated through their quantum relaxations and through the phase diagrammes derived from their re-interpretation as mean-field approximations of an interacting many-body system.

A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

  We derive Lindblad master equations for a subsystem whose dynamics is coupled to bosonic modes. We apply this formalism to the dissipative Dicke model and derive a Lindblad master equation for the atomic spins. This master equation accurately predicts the Dicke phase transition and gives the correct steady state.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.
