Reconstruction of Liouvillian superoperators
Abstract
We show how to determine (reconstruct) a master equation governing the time evolution of an open quantum system. We present a general algorithm for the reconstruction of the corresponding Liouvillian superoperators. The dynamics of a two-level atom in various environments is discussed in detail.
