• Abstract: Tracing out the environmental degrees of freedom is a necessary procedure when simulating open quantum systems. While being an essential step in deriving a tractable master equation it represents a loss of information. In situations where there is strong interplay between the system and environmental degrees of freedom this loss makes understanding the dynamics challenging. These dynamics, when viewed in isolation, have no time-local description: they are non-Markovian and memory effects induce complex features that are difficult to interpret. To address this problem, we here show how to use system correlations, calculated by any method, to infer any correlation function of a Gaussian environment, so long as the coupling between system and environment is linear. This not only allows reconstruction of the full dynamics of both system and environment, but also opens avenues into studying the effect of a system on its environment. In order to obtain accurate bath dynamics, we exploit a numerically exact approach to simulating the system dynamics, which is based on the construction and contraction of a tensor network that represents the process tensor of this open quantum system. Using this we are able to find any system correlation function exactly. To demonstrate the applicability of our method we show how heat moves between different modes of a bosonic bath when coupled to a two-level system that is subject to an off-resonant drive.

  We show how strong coupling and memory effects influence the energy levels of open quantum systems. Measurements reveal a time-dependent shift in the system's energy levels of up to 15% of the bare system frequency. Our findings provide direct evidence of dynamic energy level renormalisation in strongly coupled open quantum systems.

  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.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

  We use a Matrix Product State representation of the quantum state of a system and its environment to keep track of the bath explicitly. We predict a non-Markovian dynamics where long-range couplings induce correlations into the environment. The environment dynamics can be naturally extracted from our method and shine a light on long time feedback effects that are responsible for the observed non-Markovian recurrences in the eigen-populations of the system.
