      abstract     = {Quantum field theories treated as open quantum systems
                      provide a crucial framework for studying realistic
                      experimental scenarios, such as quarkonia traversing the
                      quark-gluon plasma produced at the Large Hadron Collider. In
                      such cases, capturing the complex thermalization process
                      requires a detailed understanding of how particles evolve
                      and interact with a hot medium. Considering the open lattice
                      Schwinger model and using tensor network algorithms, we
                      investigate the thermalization dynamics of mesonic particles
                      in a hot medium, such as the Schwinger boson or the electric
                      flux string. We simulate systems with up to 100 lattice
                      sites, achieving accurate preservation of the electric field
                      parity symmetry, demonstrating the algorithm's robustness
                      and scalability. Our results reveal that the thermalization
                      time increases with stronger dissipation from the
                      environment, increasing environment temperature, higher
                      background electric field and heavier fermion masses.
                      Further, we study the quantum mutual information between the
                      two halves of the flux string connecting a meson's
                      constituent particles and analyze its relation to relevant
                      dynamical observables.},
