Dissipative quantum dynamics in static networks with different topologies
Dr. Lee is part of a team that has published “Dissipative quantum dynamics in static networks with different topologies” on New Journal of Physics. This study examines how network topology influences dissipative quantum dynamics in spin networks coupled to thermal bosonic reservoirs. Using a Lindblad master equation framework, the authors first analyze small Ising-spin networks to show how different structures affect quantum population and coherence decay. They then develop a mean-field approach for large-scale networks, linking complex topologies to coherence behavior. Findings demonstrate that quantum coherence is highly sensitive to network structure, with implications for entangled-state dynamics, complex systems, social models, epidemiology, and biological processes.View Publication:https://doi.org/10.1088/1367-2630/ae441d
