Based on a Liouville-space formulation of open systems, we present two methods to solve the quantum dynamics of coupled harmonic oscillators experiencing Markovian loss. The starting point is the quantum master equation in Liouville space which is generated by a Liouvillian that induces a Lie algebra. We show how this Lie algebra allows to define ladder operators that construct Fock-like eigenstates of the Liouvillian. These eigenstates are used to decompose the time-evolved density matrix and, together with the accompanying eigenvalues, provide insight into the transport properties of the lossy system. Additionally, a Wei-Norman expansion of the generated time evolution can be found by a structure analysis of the algebra. This structure analysis yields a construction principle to implement effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonians in lossy systems.
