Recent works on quantum resource theories of non-Gaussianity, which are based upon the type of tools available in contemporary experimental settings, put Gaussian states and their convex combinations on equal footing. Motivated by this, in this article, we derive a new model of dissipative time evolution based on unitary Lindblad operators which, while does not preserve the set of Gaussian states, preserves the set of their convex combinations, i.e. so-called quantum Gaussian states. As we demonstrate, the considered evolution proves useful both as a description for random scattering and as a tool in dissipator engineering.
