Solution of the post-Markovian master equation for a damping harmonic oscillator

X. L. Huang, Jing Nie, Jiao Chen +1 more

We solve the post-Markovian master equation for a damping harmonic oscillator by virtue of the damping basis approach. With our solution, we study some features for the harmonic oscillator in non-Markovian channel. The results show that the non-Markovian effect governed by the post-Markovian master equation keeps the semi-positivity and slows the energy decay to environment. Moreover, different from the Markovian process, at zero temperature, a coherent state under time evolution does not remain a coherent state.

On derivation of Markovian master equation with time coarse graining

Yasusada Nambu, Shingo Kukita

We present a derivation of the Markovian master equation using the time coarse graining method. Starting from a naive perturbative solution of the von Neumann equation, the reduced density matrix with the coarse grained time steps is obtained using the assumption of short correlation time of the bath field. Then applying the renormalization group method, it is shown that dependence of the specific initial time in the solution can be removed and the Markovian semi-group master equation in Lindblad form is attained in the weak coupling limit.

Derivation of Markovian Master Equation by Renormalization Group Method

Yasusada Nambu, Shingo Kukita

We present a derivation of the Markovian master equation by the renormalization group method. Starting from a naive perturbative solution of the von Neumann equation, the reduced density matrix with the coarse grained time steps is obtained using the assumption of short correlation time of the bath field. Then by applying the renormalization group method, we show that the dependence of the specific initial time on the perturbative solution can be removed and the Markovian semigroup master equation in the Gorini--Kossakowski--Lindblad--Sudarshan (GKLS) form is obtained in the weak coupling limit.
