In this talk I will present the stability properties of plane wave solutions for a system describing quantum particles interacting with a complex environment. From a mathematical point of view, this amounts to studying a system of PDEs coupled in a non-local (in time and space) way, which complicates the analysis considerably compared to the usual nonlinear Schr¨odinger equations. The strategy adopted is based on the identification of suitable Hamiltonian structures and Lyapunov functionals. Work in collaboration with T. Goudon.
