Properties of quantum Markovian master equations

Description

An essentially self-contained account is given of some general structural properties of the dynamics of quantum open Markovian systems. Some recent results regarding the problem of the classification of quantum Markovian master equations and the limiting conditions under which the dynamical evolution of a quantum open system obeys an exact semigroup law (weak coupling limit and singular coupling limit are reviewed). A general form of quantum detailed balance and its relation to thermal relaxation and to microreversibility is discussed
