Long-time behavior of multi-level open systems interacting with non-vacuum reservoirs (2410.05505v2)

Abstract: The model of multi-level open quantum system interacting with a non-vacuum reservoir in the rotating wave approximation is considered. We provide an exact integral representation for the reduced density matrix of the system. For identical uncorrelated reservoirs in diagonal states, we have obtained the first perturbative correction for such dynamics in the Bogolubov-van Hove limit. We have shown that after initial state renormalization, it can be completely described in terms of finite-dimensional semigroup. The method we provide can also be applied to the further orders of perturbation theory with Bogolubov-van Hove scaling.
