• Abstract: In this letter, we introduce a novel method for investigating dissipation or thermalization in an open quantum system. In this method, the quantum system is coupled linearly with a copy of itself or with another system described by a finite number of bosonic operators. The time-dependent coupling functions play a fundamental role in this scheme. To demonstrate the efficacy and significance of this method, we apply it to examine several important and ubiquitous open quantum systems. Firstly, we investigate a quantum oscillator in the presence of a thermal bath at the inverse temperature $\beta$, obtaining the reduced density matrix, the Husimi distribution function, and the quantum heat distribution function accurately. The results are consistent with existing literature by appropriate choices for the time-dependent coupling function. To illustrate the generalizability of this method to systems interacting with multiple thermal baths, we study the interaction of a quantum oscillator with two thermal baths at different temperatures and obtain compatible results. Subsequently, we analyze a two-level atom with energy or phase dissipation and derive the spontaneous emission and the pure dephasing processes consistently using the new method. Finally, we investigate Markovian and non-Markovian processes in a dissipative two-level atom and observe that these processes depend on the coupling strength $g_0$, and the non-Markovian property increases with an increase in $g_0$.

  We introduce and analyze a Floquet random quantum circuit that can be tuned between glassy and fully ergodic behavior. Using an effective field theory for random quantum circuits, we analyze the correlations between quasienergy eigenstates. We show that the ramp of the spectral form factor is enhanced by a factor of the number of sectors in the glassy regime.

  An intriguing phenomenon in non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics is the asymmetry of thermal processes. We show that the free relaxation to thermal equilibrium follows intrinsically different paths depending on whether the temperature of the system increases (heating up) or decreases (cooling down) Our theory is exemplified using the recently developed thermal kinematics based on information geometry theory.

  entropy production of systems strongly coupled to thermal baths is a core problem of quantum thermodynamics and mesoscopic physics. Recently, the mesoscopic leads approach has emerged as a powerful method for studying such quantum systems strongly coupled to multiple thermal baths. We show numerically, that a system coupled to a single bath exhibits a thermal fixed point at the level of the embedding.
