- Authors: Fei-Lei Xiong, Wei-Min Zhang
- Abstract summary: The paper includes two main results. First, by taking advantage of the propagating function in the coherent state representation, we solve the exact master equation.
Second, in the dynamical perspective, we provide a rigorous thermalization process of open quantum systems.

- Abstract: In this paper, we study the exact dynamics of general open systems
interacting with its environment through particle exchanges. The paper includes
two main results. First, by taking advantage of the propagating function in the
coherent state representation, we solve the exact master equation, whose
solution is expressed in terms of the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green functions.
Second, in the dynamical perspective, we provide a rigorous thermalization
process of open quantum systems.

Key question in the thermodynamics of open quantum systems is how to partition thermodynamic quantities such as entropy, work, and internal energy between the system and its environment.
We show that the only partition under which entropy is non-singular is based on a partition of Hilbert-space, which assigns half the system-environment coupling to the system and half to the environment.

How to rigorously define thermodynamic quantities such as heat, work, and internal energy in open quantum systems driven far from equilibrium remains a significant open question in quantum thermodynamics.
Heat is a quantity whose fundamental definition applies only to processes in systems infinitesimally perturbed from equilibrium.
Heat is accounted for carefully in strongly-driven systems.
