• Abstract summary: We develop a framework to analyze the dynamics of a finite-dimensional quantum system in contact with a reservoir. We identify a main part of the full dynamics, which approximates it for small values of the $rm SR$ coupling constant. We show that the reduced system evolution is Markovian for all times.

• Abstract: We develop a framework to analyze the dynamics of a finite-dimensional quantum system $\rm S$ in contact with a reservoir $\rm R$. The full, interacting $\rm SR$ dynamics is unitary. The reservoir has a stationary state but otherwise dissipative dynamics. We identify a main part of the full dynamics, which approximates it for small values of the $\rm SR$ coupling constant, uniformly for all times $t\ge 0$. The main part consists of explicit oscillating and decaying parts. We show that the reduced system evolution is Markovian for all times. The technical novelty is a detailed analysis of the link between the dynamics and the spectral properties of the generator of the $\rm SR$ dynamics, based on Mourre theory. We allow for $\rm SR$ interactions with little regularity, meaning that the decay of the reservoir correlation function only needs to be polynomial in time, improving on the previously required exponential decay. In this work we distill the structural and technical ingredients causing the characteristic features of oscillation and decay of the $\rm SR$ dynamics. In the companion paper [27] we apply the formalism to the concrete case of an $N$-level system linearly coupled to a spatially infinitely extended thermal bath of non-interacting Bosons.

  We study Leaky ResNets, which interpolate between ResNets ($tildeLtoinfty$) and Fully-Connected nets ($tildeLtoinfty$) In the infinite depth limit, we study'representation geodesics' $A_p$: continuous paths in representation space (similar to NeuralODEs) We leverage this intuition to explain the emergence of a bottleneck structure, as observed in previous work.

A specific relationship between the collapse parameter $(lambda)$ and the collapse length scale ($r_C$) plays the role of the coexistence curve in usual thermodynamic phase diagrams.

• Correlation decay and Markovianity in open systems [0.0]
  We show that the full system-reservoir dynamics is given by a markovian term plus a correlation term. The correlation term decays in time, at a speed independent of $lambda$. This shows that (a) after initial SR correlations decay, the SR dynamics enters a regime where both the Born and Markov approximations are valid, and (b) the reduced system dynamics is markovian for all times.
