Abstract:
We characterize generators $\mathscr L$ of norm continuous quantum Markov semigroups satisfying the quantum detailed balance condition with respect to an antiunitary time reversal in terms of the operators $H$ and $L_k$ in the Gorini–Kossakowski–Sudarshan–Lindblad (GKSL) representation $\mathscr L(x)=i[H,x]-(1/2)\sum_k(L^*_kL_kx -2L^*_kxL_k+xL^*_kL_k)$.
