• Authors: Jae Sung Lee and Joonhyun Yeo
• Abstract summary: We show that manipulations of the Redfield equation needed to enforce complete positivity of a QME drives its steady state away from the MFG state. In the high-temperature regime, both the steady states of the Lindbladian QMEs and MFG state reduce to the same Gibbs state of a system Hamiltonian under certain conditions.

• Abstract: The Lindblad form guarantees complete positivity of a Markovian quantum master equation (QME). However, its microscopic derivation for a quantum system weakly interacting with a thermal bath requires several approximations, which may result in inaccuracies in the QME. Recently, various Lindbladian QMEs were derived without resorting to the secular approximation from the Redfield equation which does not guarantee the complete positivity. Here we explicitly calculate, in a perturbative manner, the equilibrium steady states of these Lindbladian QMEs. We compare the results with the steady state of the Redfield equation obtained from an analytic continuation method, which coincides with the so-called mean force Gibbs (MFG) state. The MFG state is obtained by integrating out the bath degrees of freedom for the Gibbs state of the total Hamiltonian. We explicitly show that the steady states of the Lindbladian QMEs are different from the MFG state. Our results indicate that manipulations of the Redfield equation needed to enforce complete positivity of a QME drives its steady state away from the MFG state. We also find that, in the high-temperature regime, both the steady states of the Lindbladian QMEs and MFG state reduce to the same Gibbs state of a system Hamiltonian under certain conditions.

  interplay between symmetries and entanglement in out-of-equilibrium quantum systems is currently at the centre of an intense multidisciplinary research effort. We show that one can introduce a class of solvable states, which extends that of generic dual unitary circuits. In contrast to the known class of solvable states, which relax to the infinite temperature state, these states relax to a family of non-trivial generalised Gibbs ensembles.

  "Wasserstein Quantum Monte Carlo" (WQMC) uses the gradient flow induced by the Wasserstein metric, rather than Fisher-Rao metric, and corresponds to transporting the probability mass, rather than teleporting it. We demonstrate empirically that the dynamics of WQMC results in faster convergence to the ground state of molecular systems.

Phase estimation efficiently prepares states with energy arbitrarily close to the ground energy.

• Searching for Lindbladians obeying local conservation laws and showing thermalization [0.0]
  We investigate the possibility of a Markovian quantum master equation (QME) that consistently describes a finite-dimensional system. In order to preserve complete positivity and trace, such a QME must be of Lindblad form. We show that the microscopically derived Bloch-Redfield equation (RE) violates complete positivity unless in extremely special cases.
