Three approaches for representing Lindblad dynamics by a matrix-vector notation

Abstract: Markovian dynamics of open quantum systems are described by the L-GKS equation, known also as the Lindblad equation. The equation is expressed by means of left and right matrix multiplications. This formulation hampers numerical implementations. Representing the dynamics by a matrix-vector notation overcomes this problem. We review three approaches to obtain such a representation. The methods are demonstrated for a driven two-level system subject to spontaneous emission.

“…We can use standard numerical techniques for the exponentiation [109] if we represent ρ and L as a vector and a matrix respectively. To do so, we need to flatten ρ, meaning that we will stack the different rows one after the other.…”

“…Suppose that the dimension of the Hilbert space is d. Then, the density operator is a d × d -dimensional matrix, which we tweak into a 1 × d 2 column vector r by stacking the columns of ρ on top of each other. The products between the operators and the density operator then change to matrix vector products [74], which can be solved with conventional numerical methods. For a time independent system the steady state density operator ρss is defined as a state that does not change in time, i.e.…”

“…The proof of this property is established in the framework of the Liouville space representation and assumes a system with a closed Lie algebra. Liouville space is a Hilbert space of system operators, embedded with an inner product Â, B ≡ tr  † B [5,18,19]. In this space, the quantum system is represented in terms of a finite operator basis.…”
