- 요약Quantum transport is at the core of an enormous swath of novel devices as it describes the interactions of charge carriers, phonons, and photons with one another. From nanowire or nanotube transistors, to single-photon emitters, to efficient heating/cooling devices for electronics, the movement of quantum particles described by the formalism of open quantum systems theory is the driving force behind operation. Some key problems we face today, such as continuing to scale computing power and reducing the immense power consumption of GPUs training AI models can be solved by furthering our understanding of open quantum systems. Very generally, the theoretical approach to modeling such systems is to decide what parts of the problem to treat as the system, which can be solved for exactly, and what parts to treat as the environment or bath. The system and bath are coupled by perturbing interactions. There are different overarching formalisms, which will be discussed in the main text, and a nearly-infinite cascade of assumptions, approximations, and models to handle both the system and interactions.This dissertation, at its core, attempts to study two important questions in the theory of open quantum systems. First, what can (and what should, given these are not always the same question) be included in our system Hamiltonian. This is mainly addressed in the first part of the document covering the inclusion of arbitrary real-time electromagnetic potentials in the system Hamiltonian. While we treat light classically, this is a valid approach in the limit of many photons. This is a reasonable limit since we are mainly focused on electronic transport, which is most often driven by an external electric field, and most interesting magnetic effects require a strong magnetic field to become noticeable. Our approach is to develop a system of first-order equations in space and time for the electromagnetic potentials in the Coulomb gauge that can be marched forward using the standard FDTD algorithms available for fields. This allows us to take advantage of techniques like the perfectly-matched-layer boundary conditions to simulate devices in freespace.The second question, covered in the later chapters of this document, asks how we account for the interactions that perturb the system. We focus on the density-matrix and Wigner equation formalisms and derive the ``collision integral'' or scattering terms in the quantum Brownian motion limit. We begin from the very general second-quantization formalism, which allows us to derive the scattering terms in the Brownian motion limit without relying on a phenomenological description of the environment. Further, we are able to rewrite this equation using the definition of the Wigner function and come up with a fully quantum collision operator for the Wigner transport equation. Both of these findings provide great insight into the treatment of system-environment coupling in open quantum systems.
