Description
I will give an overview of the derivation of the master equation for open quantum systems, from both a physical and mathematical perspective.
After discussing the structure of the master equation and its derivation along with its key physical assumptions, I will introduce the mathematical instruments needed to formalize the problem: such tools range from Van Hove's "λ²t" limit and Projection Method to the novel One Bound technique.
The latter method will be implemented in the context of an exactly solvable model, which consists in a qubit interacting with a bosonic field.
