• Abstract: We present a systematic approach for the semiclassical treatment of many-body dynamics of interacting, open spin systems. Our approach overcomes some of the shortcomings of the recently developed discrete truncated Wigner approximation (DTWA) based on Monte-Carlo sampling in a discrete phase space that improves the classical treatment by accounting for lowest-order quantum fluctuations. We provide a rigorous derivation of the DTWA by embedding it in a continuous phase space, thereby introducing a hybrid discrete-continuous truncated Wigner approximation (DCTWA). We derive a set of operator-differential mappings that yield an exact equation of motion (EOM) for the continuous SU(2) Wigner function of spins. The standard DTWA is then recovered by a systematic neglection of specific terms in this exact EOM. The hybrid approach permits us to determine the validity conditions and to gain detailed understanding of the quality of the approximation, paving the way for systematic improvements. Furthermore, we show that the continuous embedding allows for a straightforward extension of the method to open spin systems subject to dephasing, losses and incoherent drive, while preserving the key advantages of the discrete approach, such as a positive definite Wigner distribution of typical initial states. We derive exact stochastic differential equations for processes which cannot be described by the standard DTWA due to the presence of non-classical noise. We illustrate our approach by applying it to the dissipative dynamics of Rydberg excitation of one-dimensional arrays of laser-driven atoms and compare it to exact results for small systems.

  We show that FP-HEOM can be systematically employed to investigate higher-order master equations. We focus on the challenging scenario of the spin-boson problem with a sub-Ohmic spectral distribution at zero temperature. We compare the memory kernel for population dynamics obtained from the exact FP-HEOM dynamics with that of the approximate NIBA.
