Non-Markovian Open Quantum Systems
ORAL
Abstract
A generalized non-markovian master equation is derived from the dynamical map of systems initially correlated with their environment. We study the connection between the initial correlations and the non-markovian memory effects. The significance of not-complete positive maps in order to obtain a consistent theory of non-markovian quantum dynamics is discussed. Previous specific instances of non-markovian master equations are examined in this framework.
