• Abstract summary: Driven quantum systems subject to non-Markovian noise are typically difficult to model even if the noise is classical. We present a systematic method for deriving a time-local master equation for such systems. We analyze in detail the highly relevant case of a Rabi-driven qubit subject to various kinds of non-Markovian noise.

• Abstract: Driven quantum systems subject to non-Markovian noise are typically difficult to model even if the noise is classical. We present a systematic method based on generalized cumulant expansions for deriving a time-local master equation for such systems. This master equation has an intuitive form that directly parallels a standard Lindblad equation, but contains several surprising features: the combination of driving and non-Markovianity results in effective time-dependent dephasing rates that can be negative, and the noise can generate Hamiltonian renormalizations even though it is classical. We analyze in detail the highly relevant case of a Rabi-driven qubit subject to various kinds of non-Markovian noise including $1/f$ fluctuations, finding an excellent agreement between our master equation and numerically-exact simulations over relevant timescales. The approach outlined here is more accurate than commonly employed phenomenological master equations which ignore the interplay between driving and noise.

  We study the effects of a quantum non-Markovian bath on qubit randomized benchmarking experiments. Allowing for non-Markovianity in the interactions leads to clear differences in the randomized benchmarking decay curves. These results inform efforts on incorporating quantum non-Markovian noise in the characterization and benchmarking of quantum devices.

  We present an approach for simulating Hamiltonian classical noise that performs temporal coarse-graining. We focus on the case where the noise can be expressed as a sum of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. For Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes, the deterministic components capture all dependence on the coarse realization.

  We investigate the correspondence between classical noise and quantum environments. We construct the so-called central spin model with its couplings fluctuating as the classical noise. By adjusting the number of the auxiliary systems and their initial states, the noise-based model reproduces both Markovian and non-Markovian evolutions.

  Quantum master equations are commonly used to model the dynamics of open quantum systems, but their accuracy is rarely compared with the analytical solution of exactly solvable models. We consider the non-Markovian time-conless master equation up to the second (Redfield) and fourth orders as well as three types of Markovian master equations. We demonstrate that the coarse-grained master equation outperforms the standard RWA-based Lindblad master equation for weak coupling or high qubit frequency.

  Fluctuations of the qubit frequencies are one of the major problems to overcome on the way to scalable quantum computers. The statistics of the fluctuations can be characterized by measuring the correlators of the outcomes of periodically repeated Ramsey measurements. This work suggests a method that allows describing qubit dynamics during repeated measurements in the presence of evolving noise.

  Noise in gradient descent provides a crucial implicit regularization effect for training over parameterized models. We show that parameter-dependent noise -- induced by mini-batches or label perturbation -- is far more effective than Gaussian noise. Our analysis reveals that parameter-dependent noise introduces a bias towards local minima with smaller noise variance, whereas spherical Gaussian noise does not.
