Born-Markov: weak coupling + memoryless bath → Redfield / Lindblad master equation

Layer 1 — Physicsin the open-quantum-systems subtree

The Nakajima-Zwanzig projection-operator formalism yields the exact non-local-in-time integro-differential equation for ρ_S(t); the Born + Markov approximations reduce it to a local-in-time master equation. Born approximation: system-bath…
