Universal Predictors for Mixing Time more than Liouvillian Gap

We analyze the mixing time of open quantum systems governed by the Lindblad master equation, showing that it is determined not only by the Liouvillian gap, but also by the trace-norm factor of each decaying Liouvillian eigenmode. By utilizing them as universal predictors of mixing time, we establish general conditions for the fast and rapid mixing, respectively. Specifically, we derive rapid mixing conditions for both the strong and weak dissipation regimes, formulated as sparsity constraints on the Hamiltonian and the local Lindblad operators. Our findings provide a general framework for calculating mixing time and offer a guide for designing dissipation to achieve desired mixing speeds, which has significant implications for efficient experimental state preparation.
