An algebraic solution of Lindblad-type master equations

Abstract

We propose an algebraic solution for a wide class of Lindblad-type master equations. Examples of dissipation in free field evolution, field evolution in the Kerr medium, two-photon field dissipation, atomic dissipation and two-mode field dissipation are given.

Quantum dissipative master equations: Some exact results

Yang Zhao, G. H. Chen

With the help of quantum characteristic functions some exact results are found for two quantum dissipative master equations which contain dissipative Liouvillian operators of the Lindblad-type corresponding to two forms of dissipation mechanisms. Population relaxation is used to demonstrate how dynamic information can be retrieved from these solutions.

Algebraic Solution To The Master Equation For A Quantized Cavity Mode With Initial Squeezed State

H. A. Schmitt, A. Mufti

There are numerous examples in physics that can be modeled by the interaction between a small system of interest and a reservoir. The interaction typically leads to the irreversible decay of the system variables. As the system evolves into an equilibrium state, various parameters such as mean values, probabilities, and variances change until the final steady state is reached. The evolution of a system coupled to a reservoir with a short memory is often described by a master equation for the reduced density operator of the system. Master equations are important in physics because of their generality and hence wide range of applicability [1].

Solution of the Lindblad equation in the Kraus representation

Hiromichi Nakazato, Yuichiro Hida, Kazuya Yuasa +3 more

The so-called Lindblad equation, a typical master equation describing the dissipative quantum dynamics, is shown to be solvable for finite-level systems in a compact form without resort to writing it down as a set of equations among matrix elements. The solution is then naturally given in an operator form, known as the Kraus representation. Following a few simple examples, the general applicability of the method is clarified.

We solve analytically master equations that describe a cavity filled with a kerr medium, taking into account the dissipation induced by the environment, and parametric down conversion processes. We use superoperator techniques.

Application of Perturbation Theory to a Master Equation

Braulio Misael Villegas-Martínez, Francisco Soto, H. M. Moya-Cessa

We develop a matrix perturbation method for the Lindblad master equation. The first- and second-order corrections are obtained and the method is generalized for higher orders. The perturbation method developed is applied to the problem of a lossy cavity filled with a Kerr medium; the second-order corrections are estimated and compared with the known exact analytic solution. The comparison is done by calculating the Q -function, the average number of photons, and the distance between density matrices.
