Physicists Penc and Essler present a breakthrough in Lindblad equations by analyzing spinless-fermion systems with decoupled BBGKY hierarchies, revealing how particle-conserving models evolve into infinite-temperature steady states via diffusive dynamics. The study maps Heisenberg-picture operator dynamics to non-Hermitian Schrödinger equations, enabling exact solutions for few-body imaginary-time evolution—a novel approach linking quantum dissipation to solvable non-unitary systems. Key findings include exact hydrodynamic projections for quadratic fermionic operators, offering precise descriptions of emergent collective behavior in open quantum systems without relying on approximations. Linear response functions in non-equilibrium Lindbladian dynamics are derived, providing a rigorous framework to study transport properties in systems where traditional methods fail due to strong dissipation. Notably, the work unifies integrable (Yang-Baxter) and non-integrable models under a single formalism, expanding tools for analyzing quantum many-body systems far from equilibrium.

In the cases where particle number is conserved, their late time behaviour is characterized by diffusive dynamics, leading to an infinite temperature steady state. Some of these models are Yang-Baxter integrable, others are not. The simple structure of the BBGKY hierarchy makes it possible to map the dynamics of Heisenberg-picture operators on few-body imaginary-time Schrödinger equations with non-Hermitian Hamiltonians. We use this formulation to obtain exact hydrodynamic projections of operators quadratic in fermions, and to determine linear response functions in Lindbladian non-equilibrium dynamics. × TY - JOURPB - SciPost FoundationDO - 10.21468/SciPostPhys.20.2.058TI - Linear response and exact hydrodynamic projections in Lindblad equations with decoupled Bogoliubov hierarchiesPY - 2026/02/25UR - https://scipost.org/SciPostPhys.20.2.058JF - SciPost PhysicsJA - SciPost Phys.VL - 20IS - 2SP - 058A1 - Penc, PatrikAU - Essler, Fabian H.
