A map for finding hidden quantum Markovian models — •Michael R. Hush, Igor Lesanovsky, and Juan P. Garrahan — University of Nottingham, Nottingham, NG7 2RD, UK

The aptly named master equation (ME) reigns over the analysis of open quantum systems. The Lindblad form - it is required to have - guarantees a density matrix that obeys it will always have a probabilistic (physical) interpretation. However many applications in nonequilibrium systems produce master equations that are not in Lindblad form, (NLME).

We solve this problem, by providing a framework to map NLME to a ME by the addition of an ancillary system. We demonstrate that the ancilla only need be a two level system.

We apply our result to two cases. We provide a way to physically access the dynamical large-deviation regime of open quantum systems, hopefully paving the way for experimental exploration of dynamical phase transition behaviour that has been predicted by theory.

Second we are able to prove a no-tracking theorem which states that given a quantum system undergoing a weak measurement it is impossible to track this system with a quantum system of the same size (even with the addition of an ancilla). This result has implications on what is achievable with regard to tracking, and quantum control in general.
