Summary:

The central theme of this lecture collection is quantum dynamics, regarded mostly as the dynamics of entanglement and that of decoherence phenomena. Both these concepts appear to refer to the behavior of surprisingly fragile features of quantum systems supposed to model quantum memories and to implement quantum date processing routines. This collection may serve as an essential resource for those interested in both theoretical description and practical applications of fundamentals of quantum mechanics.

Contents:

PREFACE; CONTENTS; Quantum memories and Landauer's principle; Asymptotic entanglement in open quantum systems; Constructing positive maps in matrix algebras; Quantum processes; Pure state entanglement in terms of nilpotent variables: ?-toolbox; Experiments on quantum coherence with cold atoms; Dynamical entanglement of three-level atoms; PPT states and measures of entanglement; Entanglement via nilpotent polynomials; Sudden death and sudden birth of entanglement; Open system dynamics of simple collision models; AUTHOR INDEX
