A quantum system which can tunnel, at T= 0, out of a metastable state and whose interaction
with its environment is adequately described in the classically accessible region by a …

We apply the influence-functional method of Feynman and Vernon to the study of Brownian
motion at arbitrary temperature. By choosing a specific model for the dissipative interaction of …

This paper reports the result of a calculation which shows the effect of damping on the quantum
interference of two Gaussian wave packets in a harmonic potential. We use the influence-…

We evaluate the quantum discord dynamics of two qubits in independent and common non-Markovian
environments. We compare the dynamics of entanglement with that of quantum …

We present a direct relation, based upon a monogamic principle, between entanglement of
formation (EOF) and quantum discord (QD), showing how they are distributed in an arbitrary …

Reviewing macroscopic quantum phenomena and quantum dissipation, from the
phenomenology of magnetism and superconductivity to the presentation of alternative models for …

We study the dynamics of quantum correlations of two coupled double quantum dots containing
two excess electrons. The dissipation is included through the contact with an oscillator …

The coupling between a quantum dynamical system and a two-level-system reservoir is
analyzed within the framework of the Feynman-Vernon theory. We stress the differences …

The effect of inelastic interactions on Zener transitions is studied in the context of externally
driven systems (flux-driven normal metallic rings, current-biased tunnel junctions, etc.). We …

We develop a nonrelativistic formulation for the quantum dynamics of an electron coupled to
its own radiation field. For this purpose, we have applied the Feynman-Vernon approach to …
