- Abstract: The exact solution of the Lindblad equation with a quadratic Hamiltonian and
linear coupling operators was derived within the chord representation, that is,
for the Fourier transform of the Wigner function, also known as the
characteristic function. It is here generalized for several degrees of freedom,
so as to provide an explicit expression for the reduced density operator of any
subsystem, as well as moments expressed as derivatives of this evolving chord
function. The Wigner function is then the convolution of its straightforward
classical evolution with a widening multidimensional Gaussian window,
eventually ensuring its positivity. Futher on, positivity also holds for the
Glauber-Sundarshan P function, which guarantees separability of the components.
In the context of several degrees of freedom, a full dissipation matrix is
defined, whose trace is equal to twice the previously derived dissipation
coefficient. This governs the rate at which the phase space volume of the
argument of the Wigner function contracts, while that of the chord function
expands. Examples of Markovian evolution of a triatomic molecule and of an
array of harmonic oscillators are discussed.

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.
