Third quantization of open quantum systems: Dissipative symmetries and connections to phase-space and Keldysh field-theory formulations

The connections between standard theoretical tools used to study open quantum systems can sometimes seem opaque. Whether it is a Lindblad master equation, the equation of motion for the Wigner function, or a dissipative Keldysh action, features evident in one formalism are often masked in another. H...
