Phenomenological criteria for the validity of quantum Markovian equations
J. G. Peixoto de Faria, M. Carolina Nemes · Journal of Physics A Mathematical and General · 1998
We revisit the constraints on the coefficients of a quantum Markovian equation recently obtained by Dekker and Valsakumar. We extend these criteria for time-dependent coefficients and establish further criteria where appropriate phenomenological behaviour is required such as dissipation and a Boltzmann asymptotic equilibrium state.
