• Abstract: The Lotka-Volterra (LV) dynamics is investigated in the framework of the Weyl-Wigner (WW) quantum mechanics (QM) extended to one-dimensional Hamiltonian systems, $\mathcal{H}(x,\,k)$, constrained by the $\partial^2 \mathcal{H} / \partial x \, \partial k = 0$ condition. Supported by the Heisenberg-Weyl non-commutative algebra, where $[x,\,k] = i$, the canonical variables $x$ and $k$ are interpreted in terms of the LV variables, $y = e^{-x}$ and $z = e^{-k}$, eventually associated with the number of individuals in a closed competitive dynamics: the so-called prey-predator system. The WW framework provides the ground for identifying how classical and quantum evolution coexist at different scales, and for quantifying {\it quantum analogue} effects. Through the results from the associated Wigner currents, (non-)Liouvillian and stationary properties are described for thermodynamic and gaussian quantum ensembles in order to account for the corrections due to quantum features over the classical phase-space pattern yielded by the Hamiltonian description of the LV dynamics. In particular, for gaussian statistical ensembles, the Wigner flow framework provides the exact profile for the quantum modifications over the classical LV phase-space trajectories so that gaussian quantum ensembles can be interpreted as an adequate Hilbert space state configuration for comparing quantum and classical regimes. The generality of the framework developed here extends the boundaries of the understanding of quantum-like effects on competitive microscopical bio-systems.

  We experimentally investigate the subsystem Loschmidt echo, a quasi-local observable that captures key features of the Loschmidt echo. In the short-time regime, we observe a dynamical quantum phase transition arising from genuine higher-order correlations. In the long-time regime, the subsystem Loschmidt echo allows us to quantitatively determine the effective dimension and structure of the accessible Hilbert space in the thermodynamic limit.

  Quantum homogenization is a reservoir-based quantum state approximation protocol. We extend the standard quantum homogenization protocol to the dynamically-equivalent ($mathttSWAP$)$alpha$ formulation. We show that our proposed protocol yields a completely positive, trace preserving (CPTP) map under which the code subspace is correctable.

We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors. This implies that the theoretical predictions of the generalized KZM theory, which assumes isolation from the environment, applies beyond its original scope to an open system.
