Uncoupled Majorana fermions in open quantum systems: On the efficient simulation of non-equilibrium stationary states of quadratic Fermi models

A decomposition of the non-equilibrium stationary state of a quadratic Fermi system influenced by linear baths is obtained and used to establish a simulation protocol in terms of tensor states. The scheme is then applied to examine the occurrence of uncoupled Majorana fermions in Kitaev chains subje...
