In this talk, I will give a tutorial about constructing Lindblad dynamics for solving thermal state/ground state preparation problems. The talk will start with intuition from both mathematical and physical side. I will introduce the recent development in the last three years. I will mainly focus on introducing the construction of such dynamics and the theory behind the construction. After that, I will briefly introduce how the end-to-end theoretical complexity is proved in this community and provide several references.
