This Perspective presents a comprehensive account of the dissipaton theories developed in our group since 2014, including the physical picture of dissipatons and the phase-space dissipaton algebra. The dissipaton-equation-of-motion-space (DEOM-space) formulations cover the Schrödinger picture, the Heisenberg picture, and further the imaginary-time DEOM. Recently developed are the dissipaton theories for studying equilibrium and nonequilibrium thermodynamic mixing processes. The Jarzynski equality and Crooks relation are accurately reproduced numerically. It is anticipated that dissipaton theories would remain essential toward a maturation of quantum mechanics of open systems.
本视角全面阐述了自2014年以来我们团队发展的耗散子理论，包括耗散子的物理图像和相空间耗散子代数。运动方程空间（DEOM空间）公式涵盖了薛定谔绘景、海森堡绘景以及进一步的虚时DEOM。最近发展起来的是用于研究平衡和非平衡热力学混合过程的耗散子理论。Jarzynski等式和Crooks关系在数值上得到了精确再现。预计耗散子理论对于开放系统量子力学的成熟仍将至关重要。
