Description:
Author(s): Christina V. Kraus and Tobias J. Osborne We extend the time-dependent variational principle to the setting of dissipative dynamics. This provides a locally optimal (in time) approximation to the dynamics of any Lindblad equation within a given variational manifold of mixed states. In contrast to the pure-state setting, there is no canonica... [Phys. Rev. A 86, 062115] Published Wed Dec 26, 2012
