Abstract
In this paper, we first introduce Ket–Bra entangled state method to solve master equation of finite-level system, which can convert master equation into Schrödinger-like equation and solve it with the mature methodology of Schrödinger equation. Then, several physical models include a radioactivity damped 2-level atom driven by classical field, a J–C model with cavity damping, a V-type qutrit under amplitude damping and N-qubits open Heisenberg chain have been solved with KBES method. Furthermore, the dynamic evolution and decoherence process of these models are investigated.

TFD investigate the dynamic evolution of open quantum system by introducing an extra mode which refers to the environment.
For instance, \(e^{x_{-}\left( t\right) L_{-}}\rho =\sum \nolimits _{n=0}^{\infty }\frac{x_{-}^{n}\left( t\right) L_{-}^{n}}{n!}\rho =\sum \nolimits _{n=0}^{\infty }\frac{x_{-}^{n}\left( t\right) }{n!}\left( \sigma ^{-}\right) ^{n}\rho \left( \sigma ^{+}\right) ^{n}=\rho +\sigma ^{-}\rho \sigma ^{+}\).
Mathematica is a symbolic mathematical computation program, used in many scientific, engineering, mathematical and computing fields. MatrixExp is the order to compute the exponent of matrix.
The comparison may quite trivial because the expression of \(x_{\pm ,z}\left( t\right) \) is complicated; however, this process can be simplified by setting \(n=0\); besides, the comparison between c-number method in Ref. [23] and KBES method is quite simple.
For instance, the Mathematica order MatrixExp[\(\mathscr {F}\)] can immediately obtain the expression of \(e^{\mathscr {F}}\) where \(\mathscr {F}\) is arbitrary-order matrix.
