This preprint offers a rigorous MSc-level treatment of open quantum systems, focusing on the theoretical modeling of decoherence and dissipation through reduced dynamics and quantum master equations. By bridging these concepts with thermodynamics in the quantum regime, the work provides essential tools for researchers developing realistic quantum hardware and error mitigation strategies. It serves as a foundational resource for advancing our understanding of noise and stability in practical quantum computing architectures.

arXiv:2609.13863v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open quantum systems describe quantum systems that interact unavoidably with their environments. These notes introduce the physical origins of decoherence and dissipation in realistic settings, developing the theoretical framework of reduced dynamics and quantum master equations within the connection to thermodynamics in the quantum regime. Additionally, a set of relevant exercises are proposed to reinforce the acquisition of knowledge. The text equips readers with the tools to model and analyze open quantum dynamics.
