Relaxation in harmonic oscillator systems and wave propagation in negative index materials
This dissertation is divided up into two parts, each examining a distinct theme. The rst part of our work concerns itself with open quantum systems and the relaxation phenomena arising from the repeated application of an interaction Hamiltonian on systems composed of quantum harmonic oscillators. F...
