Open Quantum Systems

My interests are using mathematics to understand the quantum aspects of nature. The following is a non exhaustive list of main interests

  •  Open Quantum Systems
  •  Quantum Information Theory
  •  Thermodynamics
  •   Extensions to Lieb-Robinson bound theory: when do unbounded Hamiltonians have a finite "speed of  sound" and implications

For more information, see my webpage about Open Quantum Systems.
