The Generalized Fibonacci Oscillator as an Open Quantum System

We consider an open quantum system with Hamiltonian $H_S$ whose spectrum is given by a generalized Fibonacci sequence weakly coupled to a Boson reservoir in equilibrium at inverse temperature $β$. We find the generator of the reduced system evolution and explicitly compute the stationary state of the system, that turns out to be unique and faithful, in terms of parameters of the model. If the system Hamiltonian is generic we show that convergence towards the invariant state is exponentially fast and compute explicitly the spectral gap for low temperatures, when quantum features of the system are more significant, under an additional assumption on the spectrum of $H_S$.
