  "abstract": "Open quantum systems naturally relax toward steady states that underpin diverse nonequilibrium phenomena and quantum technologies. We independently control the coherent and dissipative constituents of a Lindblad generator to construct a variational product formula, termed the Lindblad variational ansatz (LVA), that accelerates steady-state preparation over natural relaxation through an optimized preparation path. The protocol consists of small-system learning, continuation to greater depth, and transfer to larger systems, followed when needed by reference-free post-training on quantum simulators. We demonstrate LVA in a bulk-dissipative Ising chain and a boundary-driven Heisenberg chain, where transferred protocols achieve matched preparation accuracies with fewer generator blocks than time-optimized first- and second-order Trotter formulas. The acceleration arises from coordinated endpoint preparation: earlier controls shape the dissipative-mode amplitudes so that the final dissipative step brings multiple components simultaneously close to their target values. Our results suggest a route to open-system quantum simulation that combines classical training on small systems with deployment and optional refinement on larger quantum devices.",
