• Abstract: In this work we present a three step procedure for generating a closed form expression of the Green's function on both closed and open finite quantum graphs with general self-adjoint matching conditions. We first generalize and simplify the approach by Barra and Gaspard [Barra F and Gaspard P 2001, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 65}, 016205] and then discuss the validity of the explicit expressions. For compact graphs, we show that the explicit expression is equivalent to the spectral decomposition as a sum over poles at the discrete energy eigenvalues with residues that contain projector kernel onto the corresponding eigenstate. The derivation of the Green's function is based on the scattering approach, in which stationary solutions are constructed by treating each vertex or subgraph as a scattering site described by a scattering matrix. The latter can then be given in a simple closed form from which the Green's function is derived. The relevant scattering matrices contain inverse operators which are not well defined for wave numbers at which bound states in the continuum exists. It is shown that the singularities in the scattering matrix related to these bound states or perfect scars can be regularised. Green's functions or scattering matrices can then be expressed as a sum of a regular and a singular part where the singular part contains the projection kernel onto the perfect scar.

  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.

We establish deterministic limits of these random curves as the dimensions of the matrices go to infinity while the entries remain bounded.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
