Monitoring approach to open quantum dynamics — •Klaus Hornberger — Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München

A general method will be discussed to obtain Markovian master equations which describe the interaction with the environment in a non-perturbative and microscopic fashion [1,2]. It is based on combining time-dependent scattering theory with the concept of continuous quantum measurements. As two nontrivial applications, I will outline how this yields the master equation for the internal dynamics of a trapped molecule in a gaseous environment, and the exact quantum linear Boltzmann equation for a Brownian point particle.
