• Abstract: We develop a recursive perturbative expansion for the time-convolutionless (TCL) generator of an open quantum system in a generalized Lindblad form. This formulation provides a systematic approach to derive the generator at arbitrary order while preserving a Lindblad-like structure, without imposing assumptions on the system or environment beyond an initially uncorrelated state. The generator is written, at all orders, in a canonical form, which also corresponds to the minimal dissipation condition, which uniquely specifies the decomposition of the generator into Hamiltonian and dissipative contributions. To validate the method and show its effectiveness in addressing non-Markovian dynamics and strong-coupling effects, we compute the generator explicitly up to fourth order.

  We introduce a method for reconstructing the corresponding Lindbaldian master equation given any target NESS. The kernel (null-space) of the correlation matrix corresponds to Lindbladian solutions. We illustrate the method in different systems, ranging from bosonic Gaussian to dissipative-driven collective spins.
