Reliable theoretical modeling of the dynamics of open quantum systems, such as an
externally driven quantum system, is essential for the realization of quantum devices,
quantum simulators, and quantum computers. This talk discusses the dynamics of open
quantum systems from several different viewpoints using master equations of the
Lindblad form. Examples include the treatment of the p-wave contact of single-component
Fermi gases, dissipation engineering in few-level systems, and the development of a
dynamic invariant- or Lie-algebra-based master equation framework in which higherorder terms can be accounted for systematically.

Doerte Blume holds a Georg Lynn Cross Research Professorship at The University of
Oklahoma (OU). She received her Ph.D. in physics in 1998 from the Georg-August
University, Goettingen, Germany. After postdoctoral work at JILA/University of Colorado
in Boulder, she took up a faculty position in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at
Washington State University (WSU) in the beautiful inland Northwest. In the summer of
2017, Doerte relocated to OU. Doerte is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and
a recipient of a Bush Lectureship at OU and a Meyer Distinguished Professorship at WSU.
Her research accomplishments at WSU were also recognized through the College of Arts
and Sciences Mid-Career Achievement in Scholarship/Creative Activities Award and the
College of Sciences Young Faculty Performance Award.
