We start with a short introduction to quantum master equations for semigroups of completely positive normal maps describing the evolution of open quantum systems and discuss in, particular, the structure of generators (Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad). We study the quantum Fokker--Planck equation for the density matrix of a quantum state with the approach developed for the study of master equations in open quantum systems. We discuss existence of stationary states and long time asymptotics.

Abstract

We start with a short introduction to quantum master equations for semigroups of completely positive normal maps describing the evolution of open quantum systems and discuss in, particular, the structure of generators (Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad). We study the quantum Fokker--Planck equation for the density matrix of a quantum state with the approach developed for the study of master equations in open quantum systems. We discuss existence of stationary states and long time asymptotics.
