- Abstract: This thesis focuses on the Lie-theoretic foundations of controlled open quantum systems. We describe Markovian open quantum system evolutions by Lie semigroups, whose corresponding infinitesimal generators lie in a special type of convex cone - a Lie wedge. The Lie wedge associated to a given control system therefore consists of all generators of the quantum dynamical semigroup that are physically realisable as a result of the interplay between the coherent and incoherent processes the quantum system is subject to. For $n$-qubit open quantum systems, we provide a parametrisation of the largest physically relevant Lie algebra (the system algebra), in which these Lie wedges are contained: the Lindblad-Kossakowski Lie algebra. This parametrisation provides several useful benefits. First, it allows us to construct explicit forms of these system Lie wedges and their respective system Lie algebras. Second, we analyse which control scenarios yield Lie wedges that are closed under Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff (BCH) multiplication and therefore generate Markovian semigroups of time-independent quantum channels. Lie wedges of this form are called Lie semialgebras, and we completely solve this open problem by proving that Lie wedges specialise to this form only when the coherent controls have no effect on both the inherent drift Hamiltonian and the incoherent part of the dynamics. Finally, this parametrisation of the Lindblad-Kossakowski Lie algebra points to an intuitive separation between unital and non-unital dissipative dynamics, where the non-unital component of the dynamics is described by affine translation operations. These translation operators are then exploited to construct purely dissipative fixed-point engineering schemes to obtain either pure or mixed states as a system's unique fixed point.

We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

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.
