• Abstract: We investigate the long-time dynamics of generic time-dependent Lindblad master equations. In particular, we provide sufficient conditions such that asymptotically the dynamics is independent on the initial state preparation. These conditions represent a natural extension of Spohn's theorem to the case of a time-dependent generator. To illustrate our results, we analyse a quantum thermodynamics scenario and discuss the uniqueness of the limit cycle in a continuous Otto engine fuelled by a driven Ising chain, where the dissipation is described by non-local jump operators. As corollary of our main result, we show that any master equation which exhibits non-Markovianity in a finite time interval can be equally addressed by means of our approach. These findings pave the way for developing a more general theory of relaxation beyond the Markovian case.

  We study the initial state-dependence, decoherence, and thermalization of a quantum damped harmonic oscillator. We find that the dynamics must include a non-vanishing noise term to yield physical results for the purity. We briefly consider time-nonlocal dissipation as well, to show that the fluctuation-dissipation relation is satisfied for a specific choice of dissipation kernels.

• A quantum fluctuation theorem for any Lindblad master equation [0.0]
  We present a general quantum fluctuation theorem for the entropy production of an open quantum system coupled to multiple environments. The theorem is genuinely quantum, as it can be expressed in terms of conservation of a Hermitian operator. We show that the fluctuation theorem amounts to a relation between time-reversed dynamics of the global density matrix and a two-time correlation function.

  We consider the dynamics of fluctuations in the quantum asymmetric simple exclusion process (Q-ASEP) with periodic boundary conditions. We show that fluctuations of the fermionic degrees of freedom obey evolution equations of Lindblad type, and derive the corresponding Lindbladians. We carry out a detailed analysis of the steady states and slow modes that govern the late time behaviour and show that the dynamics of fluctuations of observables is described in terms of closed sets of coupled linear differential-difference equations.

• Adiabatic theorem revisited: the unexpectedly good performance of adiabatic passage [0.0]
  Adiabatic passage employs a slowly varying time-dependent Hamiltonian to control the evolution of a quantum system along the Hamiltonian eigenstates. For processes of finite duration, the exact time evolving state may deviate from the adiabatic eigenstate at intermediate times. In numerous applications it is observed that this deviation reaches a maximum and then decreases significantly towards the end of the process.
