Abstract

Analyzing the dynamics of physical observables in open quantum many-body systems is a fundamental but highly challenging task that has yielded very few exact results. In this work, we identify intrinsic conformal structures that restore exact solvability in (1+1)D conformal field theories. For N Majorana fermions with linear mode jumps, the adjoint Lindbladian is triangular on reduced even Majorana monomials, yielding recursive exact Heisenberg evolution. In Wess-Zumino-Witten models admitting conformal Majorana embeddings, this hierarchy gives exact dynamics of affine-current products realized as Majorana bilinears, including regimes where the Kac-Moody current algebra alone does not close. In diagonal rational conformal field theories, Verlinde topological defect lines furnish jump operators whose primary-sector dynamics is exactly diagonal: topological-charge probabilities are conserved, while intersector coherences dephase at rates fixed by the modular S matrix and nonnegative measurement strengths. These examples show that intrinsic conformal structures, such as conformal embeddings and modular data, can organize exactly solvable open conformal dynamics.
