contents We demonstrate that combining the positivity of density matrices with steady-state conditions yields a systematic bootstrap method for studying open quantum many-body systems governed by Lindblad master equations on infinite lattices, which exhibit absorbing phase transitions. As a concrete example, we apply this method to the quantum contact process with an absorbing state. We obtain bootstrap bounds on steady-state expectation values, the critical coupling, certain ratios of expectation values in the nontrivial steady state in the supercritical phase, and the Liouvillian spectral gap in the subcritical phase.
