It describes nonequilibrium properties of discrete quantum systems coupled linearly to an environment. We illustrate the technique by a simple and exactly solvable model: A quantum dot consisting of a single non-degenerate level coupled to two reservoirs. The article is intended for advanced students. Besides elementary quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, it requires only knowledge of second quantization and Wick's theorem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-09-28T13:45:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum systems", "introduction", "developed real-time renormalization group method", "elementary quantum mechanics", "single non-degenerate level" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 30, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 507947 } } }
