Asymptotic Dynamics of Open Quantum Systems and Modular Theory

Abstract: In this Article, several aspects of the asymptotic dynamics of finite-dimensional open quantum systems are explored. First, after recalling a structure theorem for the peripheral map, we discuss sufficient conditions and a characterization for its unitarity. Interestingly, this is not always guaranteed due to the presence of permutations in the structure of the asymptotic map. Then, we show the connection between the asymptotic map and the modular theory by Tomita and Takesaki.
