“…Starting from the stationary state, new ladder operators generate 'excited states' with a simple exponential time-evolution. Recently, the connection of this approach to a covariance matrix approach of Gaussian states [7] and the Keldysh path-integral formulation of open systems has been highlighted [8,9]. The identification of eigenmodes with a simple exponential time-evolution allows one to separate fast from slow degrees of freedom efficiently.…”

“…In this paper, we outline a method to 'third quantize' a quadratic bosonic Liouvillian using a symplectic transformation. This method draws inspiration from the classical mechanics of the saddle-point dynamic of the bosonic Keldysh action [8]. The main difference to [2] is that we diagonalize the Liouvillian in a single step.…”

Open quantum systems that interact with a Markovian environment can be described by a Lindblad master equation. The generator of time-translation is given by a Liouvillian superoperator L acting on the density matrix of the system. As the Fock space for a single bosonic mode is already infinite-dimensional, the diagonalization of the Liouvillian has to be done on the creation- and annihilation-superoperators, a process called `third quantization'. We propose a method to solve the Liouvillian for quadratic systems using a single symplectic transformation. We show that the non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian of the system, next to incorporating the dynamics of the system, is a tool to analyze its symmetries. As an example, we use the effective Hamiltonian to formulate a PT-`symmetry' of an open system. We describe how the inclusion of source terms allows us to obtain the cumulant generating function for observablessuch as the photon current.

The use of dissipation for the controlled creation of nontrivial quantum many-body correlated states is of much fundamental and practical interest. What is the result of imposing number conservation, which, in closed system, gives rise to diffusive spreading? We investigate this question for a paradigmatic model of a two-band system, with dissipative dynamics aiming to empty one band and to populate the other, which had been introduced before for the dissipative stabilization of topological states. Going beyond the mean-field treatment of the dissipative dynamics, we demonstrate the emergence of a diffusive regime for the particle and hole density modes at intermediate lengthand time-scales, which, interestingly, can only be excited in nonlinear response to external fields. We also identify processes that limit the diffusive behavior of this mode at the longest length-and time-scales. Strikingly, we find that these processes lead to a reaction-diffusion dynamics governed by the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov equation, making the designed dark state unstable towards a state with a finite particle and hole density.
