| contents | We study the applicability of the Liouvillian exceptional points (LEPs) approach to nanoscale open quantum systems. A generic model of the driven two-level system in a thermal environment is analyzed within the nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) and Bloch quantum master equation (QME) formulations. We derive the latter starting from the exact NEGF Dyson equations and highlight the qualitative limitations of the LEP treatment by examining the approximations employed in its derivation. We find that non-Markov character of evolution in open quantum systems does not allow for the introduction of the concept of exceptional points for a description of their dynamics. Theoretical analysis is illustrated with numerical simulations. |
