In situ atomic-scale observation of oxidation and decomposition processes in nanocrystalline alloys.

abstract：:In order to model realistic quantum devices it is necessary to simulate quantum systems strongly coupled to their environment. To date, most understanding of open quantum systems is restricted either to weak system-bath couplings or to special cases where specific numerical techniques become effective. Here we present...
