A formula for the Bloch vector of some Lindblad quantum systems

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

Using the Bloch representation of an N-dimensional quantum system and immediate results from quantum stochastic calculus, we establish a closed formula for the Bloch vector, hence also for the density operator, of a quantum system following a Lindblad evolution with selfadjoint Lindblad operators.
