Mixing of quantum states under Markovian dissipation and coherent control

Georgios Styliaris, Álvaro M. Alhambra, Paolo Zanardi

Given any two quantum states $\rho$ and $\sigma$ in Hilbert spaces of equal dimension satisfying the majorization condition $\rho \succ \sigma$, it is always possible to transform $\rho \mapsto \sigma$ by a…
