On non-Markovian Time Evolution in Open Quantum Systems

  • Published:
Open Systems and Information Dynamics

Abstract

Non-Markovian reduced dynamics of an open system is investigated. In the case when the initial state of the reservoir is the vacuum state, an approximation is introduced which makes it possible to construct a reduced dynamics which is completely positive.
