- Abstract summary: We present an alternative way to characterize and derive conserved quantities, or intertwining operators, in open systems.
We also obtain non-Hermitian or Hermitian operators whose expectations values show single exponential time dependence.
Inspired by the Lindblad density matrix equation, our approach provides a useful addition to the well-established methods for characterizing time-invariants in non-Hermitian systems.

- Abstract: Open classical and quantum systems have attracted great interest in the past
two decades. These include systems described by non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with
parity-time $(\mathcal{PT})$ symmetry that are best understood as systems with
balanced, separated gain and loss. Here, we present an alternative way to
characterize and derive conserved quantities, or intertwining operators, in
such open systems. As a consequence, we also obtain non-Hermitian or Hermitian
operators whose expectations values show single exponential time dependence. By
using a simple example of a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric dimer that arises in two
distinct physical realizations, we demonstrate our procedure for static
Hamiltonians and generalize it to time-periodic (Floquet) cases where
intertwining operators are stroboscopically conserved. Inspired by the Lindblad
density matrix equation, our approach provides a useful addition to the
well-established methods for characterizing time-invariants in non-Hermitian
systems.

We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods.
We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians.
For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics.
We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function.
We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

Driven-dissipative quantum systems generically do not satisfy simple notions of detailed balance based on the time symmetry of correlation functions.
We show that such systems can nonetheless exhibit a hidden time-reversal symmetry which most directly manifests itself in a doubled version of the original system.
This hidden time-reversal symmetry has a direct operational utility: it provides a general method for finding exact solutions of non-trivial steady states.
