Published: April 2012

We provide the exact analytic solution of the stochastic Schrödinger equation describing a harmonic oscillator interacting with a non-Markovian and dissipative environment. This result represents an arrival point in the study of non-Markovian dynamics via stochastic differential equations. It is also one of the few exactly solvable models for infinite-dimensional systems. We compute the Green's function; in the case of a free particle and with an exponentially correlated noise, we discuss the evolution of Gaussian wave functions.

Inferring underlying microscopic dynamics from low-dimensional experimental signals is a central problem in physics, chemistry, and biology. As a trade-off between molecular complexity and the low-dimensional nature of experimental data, mesoscopic descriptions such as the Markovian master equation are commonly used. The states in such descriptions usually include multiple microscopic states, and the ensuing coarse-grained dynamics are generally non-Markovian.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on nonreciprocal single-photon scattering in a one-dimensional waveguide connected to a giant two-level atom and time-modulated cavity, using an effective Floquet Hamiltonian for analysis.
  • It explores the conditions for perfect nonreciprocal single-photon transmission in Markovian and non-Markovian regimes, emphasizing adjustable parameters that can enhance performance in the Markovian case.
  • The research indicates that while energy dissipations and time delays affect the scattering process, it's possible to achieve dynamic tunable nonreciprocal transmission, paving the way for applications in quantum information processing and quantum networks.

With the goal to study dissipative Landau-Zener (LZ) sweeps in realistic solid-state qubits, we utilize novel methods from non-Markovian open quantum system dynamics that enable reliable long-time simulations for sub-Ohmic environments. In particular, we combine a novel representation of the dynamical propagator, the uniform time evolving matrix product operator method, with a stochastic realization of finite temperature fluctuations. The latter greatly reduces the computational cost for the matrix product operator approach, enabling convergence in the experimentally relevant deeply sub-Ohmic regime.

In this Communication, we demonstrate that a deep artificial neural network based on a transformer architecture with self-attention layers can predict the long-time population dynamics of a quantum system coupled to a dissipative environment provided that the short-time population dynamics of the system is known. The transformer neural network model developed in this work predicts the long-time dynamics of spin-boson model efficiently and very accurately across different regimes, from weak system-bath coupling to strong coupling non-Markovian regimes. Our model is more accurate than classical forecasting models, such as recurrent neural networks, and is comparable to the state-of-the-art models for simulating the dynamics of quantum dissipative systems based on kernel ridge regression.
