Statements
Markovian quantum master equation for the evolution of quantum mechanical density matrices (pure or mixed states). It generalizes the Schrödinger equation to open quantum systems; that is, systems in contacts with their surroundings. The resulting dynamics is no longer unitary, but still satisfies the property of being trace-preserving and completely positive for any initial condition
