• Abstract: The Lindblad equation is a widely used quantum master equation to model the dynamical evolution of open quantum systems whose states are described by density matrices. These solution matrices are characterized by semi-positiveness and trace preserving properties, which must be guaranteed in any physically meaningful numerical simulation. In this paper, novel full- and low-rank exponential Euler integrators are developed for approximating the Lindblad equation that preserve positivity and trace unconditionally. Theoretical results are presented that provide sharp error estimates for the two classes of exponential integration methods. Results of numerical experiments are discussed that illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed schemes, beyond present state-of-the-art capabilities.

  We analyze the Markovian dynamics of a quantum system involving the interaction of two quantized fields at finite temperature decay. We reformulate the Lindblad master equation into a von Neumann-like equation with an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. This method provides a framework to calculate the evolution of any initial state in a fully quantum regime.

  We develop a general framework to linearize the von-Neumann equation rendering it in a suitable form for quantum simulations. We show that one of these linearizations of the von-Neumann equation corresponds to the standard case in which the state vector becomes the column stacked elements of the density matrix. A quantum algorithm to simulate the dynamics of the density matrix is proposed.

  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 derive Lindblad master equations for a subsystem whose dynamics is coupled to bosonic modes. We apply this formalism to the dissipative Dicke model and derive a Lindblad master equation for the atomic spins. This master equation accurately predicts the Dicke phase transition and gives the correct steady state.

  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.
