Göran Lindblad (9 July 1940 – 30 November 2022) was a Swedish theoretical physicist and a professor at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm.

[2] Lindblad spent his entire career, starting from his undergraduate days, at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

He defended his PhD thesis, entitled "The concepts of information and entropy applied to the measurement process in quantum theory and statistical mechanics," on May 29, 1974.

The Lindblad equation is a significant theoretical contribution and is widely used in many fields of physics, including quantum optics and condensed matter.

He published a monograph on two related conceptual problems in the foundations of statistical mechanics, concerning the derivation of the irreversibility of the observed macroscopic behavior from the reversible microscopic laws of motion and the definition of an entropy function on non-equilibrium quantum states.
