In this paper, a suite of developing theoretical tools is reviewed, with which recent progress on this problem has been based, and a more refined, non-Markovian, treatment is necessary.
Abstract
An ongoing theme in quantum physics is the interaction of small quantum systems with an environment. If that environment has many degrees of freedom and is weakly coupled, it can often be reasonable to treat its decohering effect on the small system using a ``memoryless,'' or Markovian description. This Colloquium shows that for many phenomena a more refined, non-Markovian, treatment is necessary. The suite of developing theoretical tools is reviewed, with which recent progress on this problem has been based.

Stochastic Processes in Physics and Chemistry

D Sherrington
- 01 Apr 1983 - 
TL;DR: Van Kampen as mentioned in this paper provides an extensive graduate-level introduction which is clear, cautious, interesting and readable, and could be expected to become an essential part of the library of every physical scientist concerned with problems involving fluctuations and stochastic processes.

Bose-Einstein condensation

Wolfgang Ketterle
- 01 Jan 2014 - 
TL;DR: When a gas of bosonic particles is cooled below a critical temperature, it condenses into a Bose-Einstein condensate as mentioned in this paper, which is the state of the art.

Topological phases of non-Hermitian systems

TL;DR: In this article, a coherent framework of topological phases of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians was developed, and the K-theory was applied to systematically classify all the topology phases in the Altland-Zirnbauer classes in all dimensions.
