Abstract
This paper concerns the modeling of the spread of information through a complex, multi-layered network, where the information is transferred from an initial transmitter to a final receiver. The mathematical model is deduced within the framework of operatorial methods, according to the formal mathematical apparatus typical of quantum mechanics. Two different approaches are considered: one based on the (H,ρ)-induced dynamics and one on the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) equation. For each method, numerical results are presented.
