We classify generators of quantum Markov semigroups on (h), with h finite-dimensional and with a faithful normal invariant state ρ satisfying the standard quantum detailed balance condition with an anti-unitary time reversal θ commuting with ρ, namely $tr\left({\rho }^{1/2}x{\rho }_t^{1/2}\left(y\right)\right)=tr({\rho }^{1/2}\theta y*\theta {\rho }_t^{1/2}(\theta x*\theta ))$ for all x,y ∈ and t ≥ 0. Our results also show that it is possible to find a standard form for the operators in the Lindblad representation of the generators extending the standard form of generators of quantum Markov semigroups satisfying the usual...

A one-dimensional quantum Euler-Poisson system for semiconductors for the electron density and the electrostatic potential in bounded intervals is considered. The existence and uniqueness of strong solutions with positive electron density is shown for quite general (possibly non-convex or non-monotone) pressure-density functions under a “subsonic” condition, i.e. assuming sufficiently small current densities. The proof is based on a reformulation of the dispersive third-order equation for the electron...
