The solution is then naturally given in an operator form, known as the Kraus representation. Following a few simple examples, the general applicability of the method is clarified.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-12-28T23:59:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lindblad equation", "kraus representation", "general applicability", "typical master equation", "simple examples" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
