• Abstract summary: We present a numerically-exact and efficient technique for tackling the problem of capturing multi-bath system dynamics. We test the method by applying it to a simple model system that exhibits non-additive behaviour. We uncover a new regime where the quantum Zeno effect leads to a fully mixed state of the electronic system.

• Abstract: When a quantum system couples strongly to multiple baths then it is generally no longer possible to describe the resulting system dynamics by simply adding the individual effects of each bath. However, capturing such multi-bath system dynamics has up to now required approximations that can obscure some of the non-additive effects. Here we present a numerically-exact and efficient technique for tackling this problem that builds on the time-evolving matrix product operator (TEMPO) representation. We test the method by applying it to a simple model system that exhibits non-additive behaviour: a two-level dipole coupled to both a vibrational and an optical bath. Although not directly coupled, there is an effective interaction between the baths mediated by the system that can lead to population inversion in the matter system when the vibrational coupling is strong. We benchmark and validate multi-bath TEMPO against two approximate methods - one based on a polaron transformation, the other on an identification of a reaction coordinate - before exploring the regime of simultaneously strong vibrational and optical coupling where the approximate techniques break down. Here we uncover a new regime where the quantum Zeno effect leads to a fully mixed state of the electronic system.

  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.

  We propose a simple-yet-effective self-supervised regularization term as a soft constraint that aligns the forward and backward trajectories predicted by a continuous graph neural network-based ordinary differential equation (GraphODE) It effectively imposes time-reversal symmetry to enable more accurate model predictions across a wider range of dynamical systems under classical mechanics. Experimental results on a variety of physical systems demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
