Abstract

A necessary and sufficient condition is derived for a density operator to be a stationary solution for a certain class of Lindblad equations in the theory of open quantum systems. This condition is based on the properties of a functional that in some cases corresponds to entropy production. Examples are given where this condition is used to find stationary solutions.
