Quantum detailed balance. (English) Zbl 0581.46065

This paper considers quantum systems. First a family of dissipative maps satisfying the detailed balance condition (DBC) is build for infinite quantum systems (DBC means reversibility). For finite systems DBC provides a characterization of the equilibrium states.
Then considering closed systems the authors conjecture that every state left invariant under the set of dissipative maps satisfying DBC is an equilibrium state. The conjecture is proved for finite systems and for the infinite free Fermion gas.
