contents We propose and analyze an experimentally accessible Lindblad master equation for a quantum harmonic oscillator, simplifying a previous proposal to alleviate implementation constraints. It approximately stabilizes periodic grid states introduced in 2001 by Gottesman, Kitaev and Preskill (GKP), with applications for quantum error correction and quantum metrology. We obtain explicit estimates for the energy of the solutions of the Lindblad master equation. We estimate the convergence rate to the codespace when stabilizing a GKP qubit, and numerically study the effect of noise. We then present simulations illustrating how a modification of parameters allows preparing states of metrological interest in steady-state.
