System described by a Master equation of the form , where
- is the Quantum Dynamical Semigroup generator
- are the Lindblad Operators.
- are positive operators. This follows from the Quantum Dynamical Semigroup generated by being Completely Positive. I need to write down this proof. Help me ❓
The Lindbladian generalises the Schrodinger Equation to an open quantum system . In open quantum systems the noise introduced by the environment changes the dynamics of the system, requiring the addition of “adjustment” terms. These adjustments make Unitary Operators unfit to describe a open quantum system, requiring us to use more general Operators.
