Jump operator

operator describing the dissipation and/or decoherence of open system quantum dynamics in a Lindblad equation

Also known as Lindblad Operator

Description

Quantum jump operators can be used - together with quantum damping rates - to describe the dissipation and/or decoherence of the quantum dynamics in a Lindblad equation (for open quantum systems).

Formula(s) and quantities

Defining Formula: ${\hat{C}}_{j, k} \equiv \sqrt{Γ_{k \to k}} \| j ⟩ ⟨ k \|$
$Γ$ symbol represents quantum damping rate
$\hat{C}$ symbol represents jump operator
