This article reviews recent studies of mean-field and one dimensional quantum disordered spin systems coupled to different types of dissipative environments. The main issues discussed are: (i) The real-time dynamics in the glassy phase and how they compare to the behaviour of the same models in their classical limit. (ii) The phase transition separating the ordered – glassy – phase from the disordered phase that, for some long-range interactions, is of second order at high temperatures and of first order close to the quantum critical point (similarly to what has been observed in random dipolar magnets). (iii) The static properties of the Griffiths phase in random king chains. (iv) The dependence of all these properties on the environment. The analytic and numeric techniques used to derive these results are briefly mentioned.

We develop a model which can be used to analyse the scenario of exploring quantum network with a distracted sense of direction. Using this model we analyse the behaviour of quantum mobile agents operating with non-adaptive and adaptive strategies which can be employed in this scenario. We introduce the notion of node visiting suitable for analysing quantum superpositions of states by distinguishing between visiting and attaining a position. We show that without a proper model of adaptiveness, it is not possible for the party representing the distraction in the sense of direction, to obtain the results analogous to the classical case. Moreover, with additional control resources the total number of attained positions is maintained and the number of visited positions is strictly limited.

We report, in this paper, a recent study on the dynamical mechanism of Brownian particles diffusing in the fractional damping environment, where several important quantities such as the mean square displacement (MSD) and mean square velocity are calculated for dynamical analysis. A particular type of backward motion is found in the diffusion process. The reason of it is analyzed intrinsically by comparing with the diffusion in various dissipative environments. Results show that the diffusion in the fractional damping environment obeys the Langevin dynamics which is quite different form what is expected.
