We prove how not only these initial correlations but also the specific joint dynamics does play a significant role in the question of the complete positivy of the reduced dynamics.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-11-25T16:55:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "open quantum systems", "kraus representation", "environment", "initial correlations", "reduced dynamics" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 2, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002quant.ph.11164S" } } }
