We consider an open quantum system in [Formula: see text] governed by quasiperiodic Hamiltonian with rationally independent frequencies and under the assumption of Lyapunov–Perron reducibility of the associated Schrödinger equation. We construct the Markovian Master Equation and the resulting CP-divisible evolution in the weak coupling limit regime, generalizing our previous results from the periodic case. The analysis is conducted with the application of projection operator techniques and concluded with some results regarding stability of solutions and existence of quasiperiodic global steady state.

We develop a framework that allows us to describe the dynamics of the total state of an open quantum system and its bosonic environment in the usual Born (weak coupling) and Markov approximation. By shifting the whole time-dependence into an unnormalized s-operator of the open system, the full dynamics is captured by an s-master equation of similar structure than the well-known Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) master equation for the reduced dynamics. By varying the ordering parameter s (0 ≤ s ≤ 1) we obtain the partial Husimi representation (s = 0) and the partial Glauber-Sudarshan representation (s = 1) for the dynamics of the total state. For the reduced density operator the GKSL master equation can be derived easily. The case of s = 1/2, leading to a partial Wigner representation, is helpful to study the overlap of states in the total Hilbert space of system and environment.

We show how random unitary dynamics arise from the coupling of an open quantum system to a static environment. Subsequently, we derive a master equation for the reduced system random unitary dynamics and study three specific cases: commuting system and interaction Hamiltonians, the short-time limit, and the Markov approximation.

It is often claimed, that from a quantum system of d levels, and entropy S and heat bath of temperature T one can draw kT lnd–TS amount of work. However, the usual arguments basing on Szilard engine, are not fully rigorous. Here we prove the formula within Hamiltonian description of drawing work from a quantum system and a heat bath, at the cost of entropy of the system. We base on the derivation of thermodynamical laws and quantities in [10] within weak coupling limit. Our result provides fully physical scenario for extracting thermodynamical work form quantum correlations [4]. We also derive Landauer's principle as a consequence of the second law within the considered model.

The control of a two-level open quantum system subject to dissipation due to environment interaction is considered. The evolution of this system is governed by a Lindblad master equation which is augmented by a stochastic term to model the effect of time-continuous measurements. In order to control this stochastic master equation model, a Fokker–Planck control framework is investigated. Within this strategy, the control objectives are defined based on the probability density functions of the two-level stochastic process and the controls are computed as minimizers of these objectives subject to the constraints represented by the Fokker–Planck equation. This minimization problem is characterized by an optimality system including the Fokker–Planck equation and its adjoint. This optimality system is approximated by a second-order accurate, stable, conservative and positive-preserving discretization scheme. The implementation of the resulting open-loop controls is realized with a receding-horizon algorithm over a sequence of time windows. Results of numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
