Operator-sum representation of time-dependent density operators and its applications

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

We show that any arbitrary time-dependent density operator of an open system can always be described in terms of an operator-sum representation regardless of its initial condition and the path of its evolution in the state space, and we provide a general expression of Kraus operators for arbitrary time-dependent density operator of an NN-dimensional system. Moreover, applications of our result are illustrated through several examples.
