  Estimating the parameters that dictate the dynamics of a quantum system is an
important task for quantum information processing and quantum metrology, as
well as fundamental physics. In this paper we develop a method for parameter
estimation for Markovian open quantum systems using a temporal record of
measurements on the system. The method is based on system realization theory
and is a generalization of our previous work on identification of Hamiltonian
parameters [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 080401 (2014)].
