AI中文摘要：
理解开放量子动力学的结构和稳定性对于非平衡量子系统的基础研究和量子模拟算法的发展日益重要。本文引入了一个结构框架，用两个标量量描述马尔可夫开放量子系统的利德布兰德生成器：耗散强度和非正交性。我们证明正常生成器在耗散和规范保持动力学之间有精确解耦，导致由耗散尺度支配的纯指数行为。相反，非正交性是一种本质上耗散的特征：在无耗散时消失，但不被耗散所隐含。此外，它受生成器赫米特和反赫米特部分相互作用的结构约束。对于一般的马尔可夫开放量子系统，我们识别出由非正交性和耗散强度的无量纲比控制的参数区域，支配暂态放大的起始。这些结构特征对量子模拟有直接影响。虽然哈密顿量和正常耗散动力学表现出稳定的演化和标准的缩放行为，非正交生成器可以引起暂态增长，放大数值误差并增加模拟成本。我们的结果提供了对开放量子系统不可逆性、稳定性和量子模拟的统一生成器层面视角。
英文摘要：
Understanding the structure and stability of open quantum dynamics is increasingly important for both fundamental studies of nonequilibrium quantum systems and the development of quantum simulation algorithms. In this work, we introduce a structural framework for Markovian open quantum systems that characterizes Lindbladian generators in terms of two scalar quantities: the dissipative strength and the non-normality. We show that normal generators admit an exact decoupling between dissipative and norm-preserving dynamics, leading to purely exponential behavior governed by the dissipative scale. In contrast, non-normality is an intrinsically dissipative feature: it vanishes in the absence of dissipation but is not implied by it. Moreover, it is structurally constrained by the interplay between the Hermitian and anti-Hermitian components of the generator. For generic Markovian open quantum systems, we identify parametric regimes controlled by a dimensionless ratio between non-normality and dissipative strength, governing the onset of transient amplification. These structural features have direct implications for quantum simulation. While Hamiltonian and normal dissipative dynamics exhibit stable evolution with standard scaling behavior, non-normal generators can induce transient growth that amplifies numerical errors and increases simulation cost. Our results provide a unified generator-level perspective on irreversibility, stability, and quantum simulation of open quantum systems.
