• Abstract: Graph-theoretic frameworks have been widely employed in quantum physics to address the high-dimensional complexity of quantum systems. Although open quantum dynamics incorporates system-bath coupling via numerous interacting operators, it has been formulated algebraically with a partial set of jump operators or statistically universal reservoirs, leaving the underlying connectivity structure largely unexplored. Here, we propose a universal graph-theoretic framework for Markovian quantum dynamics. The framework maps open quantum dynamics onto two uniquely defined graphs, where the quantum master equation is rigorously interpreted as the average wave characteristic of operator-valued signals across the graphs. Applying this framework to the open quantum Rabi model, we demonstrate an open-system generalization of Fock-state lattices, characterize graph-topological signatures of dissipation, and classify the weak-to-ultrastrong coupling transition. Building on these representations, graph pruning reveals the backbone of open quantum dynamics, which enables superior graph neural-network learning. Our results bridge graph theory and open quantum dynamics, achieving efficient data-driven analysis of high-dimensional complexity.

  We consider a class of open quantum many-body systems that evolves in a Markovian fashion, the dynamical generator being in GKS-Lindblad form. Focusing on the dynamics emerging in the limit of infinitely large systems, we build on the exactness of the mean-field equations for the dynamics of average operators. In this framework, we derive the dynamics of quantum fluctuation operators, that can be used in turn to understand the fate of quantum correlations in the system.
