Adaptive variational low-rank dynamics for open quantum systems

We introduce a model-independent method for the efficient simulation of low-entropy systems, whose dynamics can be accurately described with a limited number of states. Our method leverages the time-dependent variational principle to efficiently integrate ...

Dynamical nuclear polarization for dissipation-induced entanglement in NV centers

Mayeul Sylvain Chipaux

We propose a practical implementation of a two-qubit entanglement engine which denotes a scheme to generate quantum correlations through purely dissipative processes. On a diamond platform, the electron spin transitions of two nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers ...

Quantum dynamics of dissipative Kerr solitons

Vincenzo Savona, Fabrizio Minganti, Riccardo Rota, Kilian Robert Seibold

Dissipative Kerr solitons arising from parametric gain in ring microresonators are usually described within a classical mean-field framework. Here, we develop a quantum-mechanical model of dissipative Kerr solitons in terms of the Lindblad master equation ...

Arnoldi-Lindblad time evolution: Faster-than-the-clock algorithm for the spectrum of time-independent and Floquet open quantum systems

Fabrizio Minganti

The characterization of open quantum systems is a central and recurring problem for the development of quantum technologies. For time-independent systems, an (often unique) steady state describes the average physics once all the transient processes have fa ...

Revealing higher-order light and matter energy exchanges using quantum trajectories in ultrastrong coupling

Fabrizio Minganti

The dynamics of open quantum systems is often modeled using master equations, which describe the expected outcome of an experiment (i.e., the average over many realizations of the same dynamics). Quantum trajectories, instead, model the outcome of ideal si ...

Engineering and characterizing nonclassical states of light in quantum optical networks

Kilian Robert Seibold

The exploration of open quantum many-body systems -systems of microscopic size exhibiting quantum coherence and interacting with their surrounding- has emerged as a key research area over the last years. The recent advances in controlling and preserving qu ...

Creating and controlling exceptional points of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians via homodyne Lindbladian invariance

Fabrizio Minganti

The exceptional points (EPs) of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians (NHHs) are spectral degeneracies associated with coalescing eigenvalues and eigenvectors, which are associated with remarkable dynamical properties. These EPs can be generated experimentally in ope ...

Theory of Fano effect in cavity quantum electrodynamics

Alexey Lyasota

We propose a Markovian quantum master equation that can describe the Fano effect directly, by assuming a standard cavity quantum electrodynamics system. The framework allows us to generalize the Fano formula, applicable over the weak- and strong-coupling r ...

A quantum algorithm for the direct estimation of the steady state of open quantum systems

Vincenzo Savona

Simulating the dynamics and the non-equilibrium steady state of an open quantum system are hard computational tasks on conventional computers. For the simulation of the time evolution, several efficient quantum algorithms have recently been developed. Howe ...

Fluctuation-dissipation relations in the absence of detailed balance: formalism and applications to active matter

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora

We present a comprehensive study about the relationship between the way detailed balance is broken in non-equilibrium systems and the resulting violations of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. Starting from stochastic dynamics with both odd and even vari ...

Quantum Monte Carlo approach to the non-equilibrium steady state of open quantum systems

Alexandra Nagy

Many-body open quantum systems are exposed to an essentially uncontrollable environment that acts as a source of decoherence and dissipation. As the exact treatment of such models is generally unfeasible, it is favourable to formulate an approximate descri ...

Dissipative time crystal in an asymmetric nonlinear photonic dimer

Vincenzo Savona, Riccardo Rota, Kilian Robert Seibold

We investigate the behavior of two coupled nonlinear photonic cavities, in the presence of inhomogeneous coherent driving and local dissipations. By solving numerically the quantum master equation, either by diagonalizing the Liouvillian superoperator or b ...

Nuclear Quantum Effects: Fast and Accurate

Atomistic simulations are a bottom up approach that predict properties of materials by modelling the quantum mechanical behaviour of all electrons and nuclei present in a system. These simulations, however, routinely assume nuclei to be classical particles ...

The possibility to simulate the properties of many-body open quantum systems with a large number of degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) is the premise to the solution of several outstanding problems in quantum science and quantum information. The challenge posed b ...

Linear Response Theory and Green-Kubo Relations for Active Matter

We address the question of how interacting active systems in a nonequilibrium steady state respond to an external perturbation. We establish an extended fluctuation-dissipation theorem for active Brownian particles (ABP), which highlights the role played b ...

We analyze an open many-body system that is strongly coupled at its boundaries to interacting quantum baths. We show that the two-body interactions inside the baths induce emergent phenomena in the spin transport. The system and baths are modeled as indepe ...
