A Brief History of the GKLS Equation

Abstract

We reconstruct the chain of events, intuitions and ideas that led to the formulation of the Gorini, Kossakowski, Lindblad and Sudarshan equation.

arXiv commentBased on a talk given by D.C. at the 48th Symposium on Mathematical Physics "Gorini-Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan Master Equation - 40 Years After" (Toruń, June 10-12, 2016). To be published in the special volume of OSID
