• Abstract: We introduce jumptime unraveling as a distinct description of open quantum systems. As our starting point, we consider quantum jump trajectories, which emerge, physically, from continuous quantum measurements, or, formally, from the unraveling of Markovian quantum master equations. If the stochastically evolving quantum trajectories are ensemble-averaged at specific times, the resulting quantum states are solutions to the associated quantum master equation. We demonstrate that quantum trajectories can also be ensemble-averaged at specific jump counts. The resulting jumptime-averaged quantum states are then solutions to a discrete, deterministic evolution equation, with time replaced by the jump count. This jumptime evolution represents a trace-preserving quantum dynamical map if and only if the associated open system does not exhibit dark states. In the presence of dark states, on the other hand, jumptime-averaged states may decay into the dark states and the jumptime evolution may eventually terminate. Jumptime-averaged quantum states and the associated jumptime evolution are operationally accessible in continuous measurement schemes, when quantum jumps are detected and used to trigger the readout measurements. We illustrate the jumptime evolution with the examples of a two-level system undergoing relaxation or dephasing, a damped harmonic oscillator, and a free particle exposed to collisional decoherence.

  Quantum systems interact with their environment, resulting in non-reversible evolutions. For many quantum experiments, the time until which measurements can be done might be limited. We introduce a method to approximate a given target quantum channel by means of variationally approximating equivalent unitaries on an extended system.

  We discuss the quantization of the quantum uncertainty as an operator acting on wave-functions over field space. We show how this spectrum appears in the value of the coupling of the effective conformal potential driving the evolution of extended Gaussian wave-packets. We conclude with an open question: is it possible to see experimental signatures of the quantization of the quantum uncertainty in non-relativistic physics?

  We study propagation of quantum walks on percolation-generated two-dimensional random lattices. We show that even arbitrarily weak concentrations of randomly removed lattice sites give rise to a complete breakdown of the superdiffusive quantum speed-up. The fragility of quantum speed-up implies dramatic limitations for quantum information applications of quantum walks on random geometries and graphs.

  In the quantum Zeno effect, quantum measurements can block the coherent oscillation of a two level system by freezing its state to one of the measurement eigenstates. We show that the onset of the Zeno regime is marked by a $textitcascade of transitions$ in the system dynamics as the measurement strength is increased.
