  1. Master equation and initial factorization Paolo Facchi Università di Bari, Italy in collaboration with S. Pascazio, K. Yuasa (Bari) H. Nakazato, I. Ohba, S. Tasaki (Tokyo) G. Kimura (Sendai)

  2. Introduction • Closed quantum system • unitary evolution (reversible) • Schrödinger equation • small systems / discrete spectra • Open Quantum Systems • dissipation/decoherence (irreversible) • system S + reservoir B • derivation of master equation for the reduced density ops. infinitely extended systems System S • (Thermal) Quantum Field Theory Reservoir B

  3. Total System S+B Reduced Density Op. Master Eq. for S (Markov approximation) Master equation

  4. Derivation of master equation • System S + Reservoir B • B is infinitely large • Weak coupling • Trace over B • Nakajima-Zwanzig’s Projection Method • Weak-Coupling + Markov Approximation • van Hove’s Limit • No Initial Correlation between S and B
