• Abstract summary: The generalized quantum master equation (GQME) expresses correlation functions in terms of a non-Markovian equation of motion. We study the approximate solution of the GQME, obtained by calculating the kernels with two methods, namely Ehrenfest mean-field theory and spin mapping. We find that the accuracy of the predictions of the GQME depends strongly on the specific technique used to calculate the kernels.

• Abstract: The formalism of the generalized quantum master equation (GQME) is an effective tool to simultaneously increase the accuracy and the efficiency of quasiclassical trajectory methods in the simulation of nonadiabatic quantum dynamics. The GQME expresses correlation functions in terms of a non-Markovian equation of motion, involving memory kernels which are typically fast-decaying and can therefore be computed by short-time quasiclassical trajectories. In this paper we study the approximate solution of the GQME, obtained by calculating the kernels with two methods, namely Ehrenfest mean-field theory and spin mapping. We test the approaches on a range of spin--boson models with increasing energy bias between the two electronic levels and place a particular focus on the long-time limits of the populations. We find that the accuracy of the predictions of the GQME depends strongly on the specific technique used to calculate the kernels. In particular, spin mapping outperforms Ehrenfest for all systems studied. The problem of unphysical negative electronic populations affecting spin mapping is resolved by coupling the method with the master equation. Conversely, Ehrenfest in conjunction with the GQME can predict negative populations, despite the fact that the populations calculated from direct dynamics are positive definite.

  We study the initial state-dependence, decoherence, and thermalization of a quantum damped harmonic oscillator. We find that the dynamics must include a non-vanishing noise term to yield physical results for the purity. We briefly consider time-nonlocal dissipation as well, to show that the fluctuation-dissipation relation is satisfied for a specific choice of dissipation kernels.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
