Lindbladian

Source 📝

2588:, begins with a more general form of an open quantum system and converts it into Lindblad form by making the Markovian assumption and expanding in small time. A more physically motivated standard treatment covers three common types of derivations of the Lindbladian starting from a Hamiltonian acting on both the system and environment: the weak coupling limit (described in detail below), the low density approximation, and the singular coupling limit. Each of these relies on specific physical assumptions regarding, e.g., correlation functions of the environment. For example, in the weak coupling limit derivation, one typically assumes that (a) correlations of the system with the environment develop slowly, (b) excitations of the environment caused by system decay quickly, and (c) terms which are fast-oscillating when compared to the system timescale of interest can be neglected. These three approximations are called Born, Markov, and rotating wave, respectively. 118:
However, any real physical system is not absolutely isolated, and will interact with its environment. This interaction with degrees of freedom external to the system results in dissipation of energy into the surroundings, causing decay and randomization of phase. More so, understanding the interaction of a quantum system with its environment is necessary for understanding many commonly observed phenomena like the spontaneous emission of light from excited atoms, or the performance of many quantum technological devices, like the laser.
1251: 6352: 2714:. This equation, containing an infinite number of degrees of freedom, is impossible to solve analytically except in very particular cases. What's more, under certain approximations, the bath degrees of freedom need not be considered, and an effective master equation can be derived in terms of the system density matrix, 1507: 328: 936: 4477:
The equation is now explicit in the system degrees of freedom, but is very difficult to solve. A final assumption is the Born-Markov approximation that the time derivative of the density matrix depends only on its current state, and not on its past. This assumption is valid under fast bath dynamics,
4190:
This equation is exact for the time dynamics of the system density matrix but requires full knowledge of the dynamics of the bath degrees of freedom. A simplifying assumption called the Born approximation rests on the largeness of the bath and the relative weakness of the coupling, which is to say
2548: 133:, it allows more easily for the inclusion of incoherent processes, which represent environmental interactions. The density operator has the property that it can represent a classical mixture of quantum states, and is thus vital to accurately describe the dynamics of so-called open quantum systems. 2591:
The weak-coupling limit derivation assumes a quantum system with a finite number of degrees of freedom coupled to a bath containing an infinite number of degrees of freedom. The system and bath each possess a Hamiltonian written in terms of operators acting only on the respective subspace of the

In the canonical formulation of quantum mechanics, a system's time evolution is governed by unitary dynamics. This implies that there is no decay and phase coherence is maintained throughout the process, and is a consequence of the fact that all participating degrees of freedom are considered.

The shape of the jump operators describes how the environment acts on the system, and must either be determined from microscopic models of the system-environment dynamics, or 1690: 3292: 3182: 5815: 3533: 1246:{\displaystyle u^{\dagger }hu={\begin{bmatrix}\gamma _{1}&0&\cdots &0\\0&\gamma _{2}&\cdots &0\\\vdots &\vdots &\ddots &\vdots \\0&0&\cdots &\gamma _{N^{2}-1}\end{bmatrix}}} 6347:{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}F_{1}&=a,&\gamma _{1}&={\tfrac {\gamma }{2}}\left({\overline {n}}+1\right),\\F_{2}&=a^{\dagger },&\gamma _{2}&={\tfrac {\gamma }{2}}{\overline {n}}.\end{aligned}}} 3984: 1934: 3814: 4261: 1701: 4800: 659: 6176: 2811: 6034: 4525: 2751: 2157: 3365: 3037: 1954: 1327: 709: 600: 2903: 2163: 3897: 2656: 2712: 496: 5823: 3565: 6382: 733: 533: 453: 381: 6428: 6420: 4857: 4830: 2945: 1847: 1554: 1502:{\displaystyle {\dot {\rho }}=-{i \over \hbar }+\sum _{i}^{}\gamma _{i}\left(L_{i}\rho L_{i}^{\dagger }-{\frac {1}{2}}\left\{L_{i}^{\dagger }L_{i},\rho \right\}\right)} 972: 323:{\displaystyle {\dot {\rho }}=-{i \over \hbar }+\sum _{i}^{}\gamma _{i}\left(L_{i}\rho L_{i}^{\dagger }-{\frac {1}{2}}\left\{L_{i}^{\dagger }L_{i},\rho \right\}\right)} 4955: 1584: 1060: 81:
