Abstract

Although Lindblad developed a general Markovian theory for open-system dynamics while maintaining the positivity of the density matrix, a practical non-Markovian analog remains a significant problem. Here, we present an extension of Lindblad's theory through an ensemble of Lindbladian trajectories originating from different times in the system's history. This approach provides an account of the system's memory while preserving the positivity of the density matrix. We apply the theory to the Jaynes-Cummings model to capture non-Markovian dynamics in the weak and strong coupling regimes.
