Abstract

The von Neumann entropy rate for open quantum systems is, in general, written in terms of entropy production and entropy flow rates, encompassing the second law of thermodynamics. For memoryless open quantum systems, whose evolutions correspond to one-parameter quantum dynamical semigroups, we find a decomposition of the infinitesimal generator of the dynamics that unveils the fluctuation-dissipation structure of these evolutions. Thus, the fluctuation part of this decomposition allows to relate the von Neumann entropy rate with the divergence-based quantum Fisher information, at any time. Applied to continuous-in-time quantum Gaussian channels, our decomposition leads to the quantum analog of the generalized classical de Bruijn identity, thus expressing the quantum fluctuation-dissipation relation in that kind of channels. Finally, from this perspective, we analyze how stationarity arises.
