A fully general open quantum system description of arbitrarily complex oscillating and decaying neutrino systems is developed and shown to be implementable via Lindblad equations, Liouvillian superoperators, and Kraus operators.

abstract
The KamLAND experiment has determined a precise value for the neutrino oscillation parameter $\Delta m^{2}_{21}$ and stringent constraints on $\theta_{12}$. The exposure to nuclear reactor anti-neutrinos is increased almost fourfold over previous results to 2.44$\times10^{32}$ proton-yr due to longer livetime and an enlarged fiducial volume. An undistorted reactor $\bar{\nu}_{e}$ energy spectrum is now rejected at >5$\sigma$. Extending the analysis down to the inverse beta decay energy threshold, and incorporating geo-neutrinos, gives a best-fit at $\Delta m^{2}_{21}$= $7.58^{+0.14}_{-0.13}(stat)^{+0.15}_{-0.15}(syst)\times10^{-5}$ eV$^{2}$ and $\tan^2 \theta_{12}$=$0.56^{+0.10}_{0.07}(stat)^{+0.10}_{-0.06}(syst)$. Local $\Delta \chi^2$-minima at higher and lower $\Delta m^{2}_{21}$ are disfavored at >4$\sigma$. Combining with solar neutrino data, we obtain $\Delta m^{2}_{21}$= $7.59^{+0.21}_{-0.21}\times10^{-5}$ eV$^{2}$ and $\tan^2 \theta_{12}$=$0.47^{+0.06}_{-0.05}$.

Solar data constrains the non-unitary parameter (1-α11) to less than 0.046 at 99% credible interval, with strong correlation to the solar mass splitting.
Dynamical dark energy remains preferred across extended models while curvature, neutrino mass and inflation parameters show strong model dependence, with no resolution of the H0 tension.
Updated global fit of neutrino oscillation data gives precise measurements of mixing parameters with a 2.5 sigma preference for normal mass ordering.
