Dissipative operators and cohomology of operator algebras

Göran Lindblad
- 01 May 1976 - 
- Vol. 1, Iss: 3, pp 219-224
TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that an ultraweakly continuous completely dissipative operator on a W*-algebra A has a canonical form in terms of a completely positive map and a Hamiltonian provided that the cohomology groups of A with coefficients in a dual normal A-module are zero.
Abstract
It is proved that an ultraweakly continuous completely dissipative operator on a W*-algebra A has a canonical form in terms of a completely positive map and a Hamiltonian provided that the cohomology groups of A with coefficients in a dual normal A-module are zero.

General properties of entropy

TL;DR: This paper discusses properties of entropy, as well as related concepts such as relative entropy, skew entropy, dynamical entropy, etc, in detail with reference to their implications in statistical mechanics, to get a glimpse of systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom.

Properties of Quantum Markovian Master Equations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an essentially self-contained account of structural properties of quantum open Markovian systems and discuss a general form of quantum detailed balance and its relation to thermal relaxation and to microreversibility.

Non-Markovian quantum stochastic processes and their entropy

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum stochastic process (QSP) in discrete time capable of describing non-Markovian effects is introduced, which is based directly on the physically relevant correlation functions.

- 01 Jun 1971 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the formalism developed in previous papers is simplified and generalized to systems with superselection rules, which describes a rather general class of linear mappings of states (density matrices).
