Driven Open Quantum Systems - From Micro- to Macrophysics - Lecture 2

Explore the intricacies of driven open quantum systems in this comprehensive lecture by Sebastian DIEHL from the Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of Cologne, Germany. Delve into the fascinating journey from micro- to macrophysics, focusing on the second part of this series. Examine key concepts such as random unitary circuits, measurement processes, and their probabilistic nature. Investigate the impact of nonunitary dynamics on quantum systems and gain insights into entanglement entropy and wave function behavior. Uncover the fundamental principles that bridge the gap between microscopic quantum phenomena and macroscopic observations, enhancing your understanding of quantum mechanics and its applications in modern physics.
