• Authors: Bin Yan and Wojciech H. Zurek
• Abstract summary: We show that the decoherence factor can be described by the convolution of Gaussian and exponential functions. The mechanism is demonstrated with two paradigmatic examples of decoherence -- a spin-bath model and the quantum Brownian motion.

• Abstract: This paper identifies and investigates nature of the transition between Gaussian and exponential forms of decoherence. We show that the decoherence factor (that controls the time dependence of the suppression of the off-diagonal terms when the density matrix is expressed in the pointer basis representation) can be described by the convolution of Gaussian and exponential functions, their contributions modulated by the strength of the system-environment interaction. In the strong and weak coupling limits, decoherence reduces to the familiar Gaussian and exponential forms, respectively. The mechanism is demonstrated with two paradigmatic examples of decoherence -- a spin-bath model and the quantum Brownian motion.

  This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization. We propose a representation learning method that induces disentanglement by simultaneously learning the latent factors. We show that the latent factors can be recovered by regularizing the learned causal graph to be sparse.

  We show that skewed Bhattacharryya distances between probability densities of an exponential family amounts to skewed Jensen divergences induced by the cumulant function. We then show how comparative convexity with respect to a pair of quasi-arithmetic means allows to deform both convex functions and their arguments.

We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

  We investigate two mechanisms leading to memory loss of non-Gaussian correlations after switching off the interactions in an isolated quantum system. The first mechanism is based on spatial scrambling and results in the emergence of locally Gaussian steady states. The second mechanism, characterized as canonical transmutation', is based on the mixing of a pair of canonically conjugate fields.
