Abstract

There are several damping phenomena in quantum optics. Such phenomena have been usually explained by open systems. In statistical physics, open system dynamics have been used to study the irreversibility and the approach to equilibrium.

In this paper the dynamical change of the mutual entropy is discussed for a model of quantum Markov chain. The concrete Stinespring-Kraus’s expression for this model is obtained and applied to the derivation of the mutual entropy, and some computational results are presented.
