• Abstract: Positivity preservation is naturally guaranteed in exact non-Markovian master equations for open quantum system dynamics. However, in many approximated non-Markovian master equations, the positivity of the reduced density matrix is not guaranteed. In this paper, we provide a general class of time-local perturbative and positivity preserving non-Markovian master equations generated from stochastic Schr\"odinger equations, particularly quantum-state-diffusion equations. Our method has an expanded range of applicability for accommodating a vast variety of non-Markovian environments. We show the positivity preserving master equation for a dissipative three-level system coupled to a bosonic environment as a particular example of our general result. We illustrate the numerical simulations with an analysis explaining why the previous approximated non-Markovian master equations cannot preserve positivity. Our work paves the way for studying the non-Markovian dynamics in ultrafast quantum processes and strong-coupling systems.

  A relevant problem in the theory of open quantum systems is the lack of complete positivity of dynamical maps obtained after weak-coupling approximations. We propose a numerical method to cure the complete-positivity violation issue while preserving the non-Markovian features of an arbitrary original dynamical map.

  Non-Markovian effects are important in modeling the behavior of open quantum systems in solid-state physics, quantum optics, and in study of biological and chemical systems. We show that under some physically motivated assumptions on the system-environment interaction, the finite-time dynamics of the non-Markovian open quantum system computed with a sufficiently large number of modes guaranteed to converge is an approximation. Our results lend rigor to classical and quantum algorithms for approximating non-Markovian dynamics.
