A large class of fermionic open systems obeys a powerful dissipative analogue of the “symmetry” of hermitian conjugation in closed quantum systems. This fermionic duality relation applies to quantum-impurity transport models with strong interactions and hybridization exhibiting many-body and memory effects. Here we extend this relation from the time-nonlocal memory-kernel approach (Nakajima-Zwanzig) to prominent quantum-information inspired approaches in their exact formulation [arXiv:2104.11202]. These include the Kraus-operator decomposition of the dynamical map as well as the time-convolutionless quantum master equation with a time-local generator and generalized Lindblad jump-operators. Whereas in some of these formulations this yields a strong restriction on the involved quantities, in others it can be exploited to partially by-pass nontrivial time-evolution calculations. Fermionic duality also offers new insights into the divisibility and causal structure of the dynamics and applied to nonperturbative semigroup approximations [Phys. Rev. X 11, 021041 (2021)] it provides a new way to construct initial-slip corrections.
