This book treats the central physical concepts and mathematical techniques used to investigate the dynamics of open quantum systems. To provide a self-contained presentation the text begins with a su
This graduate textbook develops approaches for deriving the dynamics of open quantum systems from an underlying microscopic theory by the elimination of the environmental degrees of freedom, and throu
The conference Quantum Africa 2010 addressed recent advances, both theoretical and experimental, in the rapidly progressing field of quantum technologies. In particular progress in the foundations of
