• Abstract: The chain mapping of structured environments is a most powerful tool for the simulation of open quantum system dynamics. Once the environmental bosonic or fermionic degrees of freedom are unitarily rearranged into a one dimensional structure, the full power of Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) can be exploited. Beside resulting in efficient and numerically exact simulations of open quantum systems dynamics, chain mapping provides an unique perspective on the environment: the interaction between the system and the environment creates perturbations that travel along the one dimensional environment at a finite speed, thus providing a natural notion of light-, or causal-, cone. In this work we investigate the transport of excitations in a chain-mapped bosonic environment. In particular, we explore the relation between the environmental spectral density shape, parameters and temperature, and the dynamics of excitations along the corresponding linear chains of quantum harmonic oscillators. Our analysis unveils fundamental features of the environment evolution, such as localization, percolation and the onset of stationary currents.

  We formulate the self-consistent Born approximation to resum the memory- kernel perturbation series in powers of the exciton-environment interaction. We find that the self-consistent Born approximation is good (poor) at describing energy transfer modulated by an underdamped vibration resonant (off-resonant) with the exciton energy gap.

  We show how a thermo-chemical modulation of the spectral density allows replacing the original fermionic environments with simpler, but simpler, ones. We then provide a derivation of the fermionic Markovian closure construction, consisting of a small collection of damped fermionic modes. We describe, in particular, how the use of the Markovian closure allows for a reduction of the time complexity of chain-mapping based algorithms.

• Understanding and utilizing the inner bonds of process tensors [0.0]
  Process tensor matrix product operators (PT-MPOs) enable numerically exact simulations for an unprecedentedly broad range of open quantum systems. Here, we show that the inner bonds of the compressed PT-MPO represent the subspace of the full environment Liouville space. This connection can be expressed in terms of lossy linear transformations, whose pseudoinverses facilitate the extraction of environment observables.

  We exploit the access to environmental observables to illustrate how the evolution of the open quantum system can be related to the detailed evolution of the environment it interacts with. We analyze a two-level system strongly interacting with a super-Ohmic environment, where we discover a change in the spin-boson ground state that can be traced to the formation of polaronic states.

• Perturbation theory under the truncated Wigner approximation reveals how system-environment entanglement formation drives quantum decoherence [0.0]
  Quantum decoherence is the disappearance of simple phase relations within a discrete quantum system as a result of interactions with an environment. We introduce a theoretical framework wherein we combine the truncated Wigner approximation with standard time-dependent perturbation theory. We show that the selective suppression of low-frequency environmental modes is particularly effective for mitigating quantum decoherence.
