## Abstract

A general theoretical approach to study the quantum kinetics in a system coupled to a bath is proposed. Starting with the microscopic interaction, a Lindblad master equation is established, which goes beyond the common secular approximation. This allows for the treatment of systems, where coherences are generated by the bath couplings while avoiding the negative occupations occurring in the Bloch-Wangsness-Redfield kinetic equations. The versatility and accuracy of the approach is verified by its application to three entirely different physical systems: (i) electric transport through a double-dot system coupled to electronic reservoirs, (ii) exciton kinetics in coupled chromophores in the presence of a heat bath, and (iii) the simulation of quantum cascade lasers, where the coherent electron transport is established by scattering with phonons and impurities.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
