Interplay Between Standard Quantum Detailed Balance and Thermodynamically Consistent Entropy Production

Abstract We demonstrate that, for a quantum Markovian semigroup on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, if it satisfies the standard quantum detailed balance condition, its generator admits a special representation that yields a vanishing entropy production rate. Conversely, if th...

Complex Operator Growth in Dissipative Quantum Systems

Abstract The universal operator-growth hypothesis (OGH) states that in a closed chaotic system the Lanc- zos coeffcients grow linearly, bn ≃ αn, and that the rate α bounds the Lyapunov exponent, λL ≤ 2α. We ask how this structure is modified when the system is coupled to a Markov...
