Abstract:
In this talk, I will introduce a general theory of open systems we developed in the last few years. The fundamental physics of open quantum systems, including topics of nonequilibrium dynamics, non-Markovianity memory phenomena, entanglement decoherence and decoherence of topological states, quantum thermalization, nonequilibrium quantum phase transition, and quantum transport, etc. are explored. Applications to various open systems are also presented.
