Abstract

For a certain class of open quantum systems there exists a dynamical symmetry which connects different time-evolved density matrices. We show how to use this symmetry for dynamics in the Liouville space with time-dependent parameters. This allows us to introduce a concept of generalized coherent states (e.g. density matrices) in the Liouville space. Dynamics of this class of density matrices is characterized by robustness with respect to any time-dependent perturbations of the couplings. We study their dynamical context while focusing on common physical situations corresponding to compact and non-compact symmetries.
