• Abstract summary: First-order, time-local, homogeneous master equations fail to describe dynamics beyond the singular point. We propose a reformulation in terms of higher-order differential equations to retain time-locality. We also present a detailed study of the central spin model and we propose the average rate of information inflow in non-Markovian processes.

• Abstract: Master equations describing open quantum dynamics are typically first order differential equations. When such dynamics brings the trajectories in state space of more than one initial state to the same point at finite instants in time, the generator of the corresponding master equation becomes singular. The first-order, time-local, homogeneous master equations then fail to describe the dynamics beyond the singular point. Retaining time-locality in the master equation necessitates a reformulation in terms of higher-order differential equations. We formulate a method to eliminate the divergent behavior of the generator by using a combination of higher-order derivatives of the generator with suitable weights and illustrate it with several examples. We also present a detailed study of the central spin model and we propose the average rate of information inflow in non-Markovian processes as a quantity that captures a different aspect of non-Markovian dynamics.

  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

Our method is efficiently scalable: after one-time pretraining on a large set of ODEs, we can infer the governing laws of a new observed solution in a few forward passes of the model.
