We prove sharp universal upper bounds on the number of linearly independent steady and asymptotic states of discrete- and continuous-time Markovian evolutions of open quantum systems. We show that the bounds depend only on the dimension of the system and not on the details of the dynamics. A comparison with similar bounds deriving from a recent spectral conjecture for Markovian evolutions is also provided.

Abstract

We prove sharp universal upper bounds on the number of linearly independent steady and asymptotic states of discrete- and continuous-time Markovian evolutions of open quantum systems. We show that the bounds depend only on the dimension of the system and not on the details of the dynamics. A comparison with similar bounds deriving from a recent spectral conjecture for Markovian evolutions is also provided.
