The problem of the evolution of a heavy quarkonium in a medium can be recast as that of a quantum dissipative system. Within the framework of the master-equation approach to open quantum systems, we consider the real-time dynamics of quarkonia. We find that in a plasma at fixed temperature, the populations of the various quarkonium states evolve together, while their momentum distribution satisfies a Fokker-Planck equation.

    A quantum circuit simulation of the next-to-leading-order Lindblad equation for bottomonium in the quark-gluon plasma matches QuTiP and finds a small color-octet contribution to the Upsilon(1S) survival probability.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A Lindblad master equation for a J/psi-like harmonic oscillator in an expanding QGP shows that hydrodynamic cooling slows quantum decoherence compared to a static bath, with viscosity having negligible impact.
