• Abstract summary: We present a pedagogical introduction to solving the dynamics of quantum systems by the use of a Lie algebra decoupling theorem. As background, we include an overview of Lie groups and Lie algebras aimed at a general physicist audience. We prove the theorem and apply it to three well-known examples of linear and quadratic Hamiltonian that frequently appear in quantum optics and related fields.

• Abstract: At the heart of quantum technology development is the control of quantum systems at the level of individual quanta. Mathematically, this is realised through the study of Hamiltonians and the use of methods to solve the dynamics of quantum systems in various regimes. Here, we present a pedagogical introduction to solving the dynamics of quantum systems by the use of a Lie algebra decoupling theorem. As background, we include an overview of Lie groups and Lie algebras aimed at a general physicist audience. We then prove the theorem and apply it to three well-known examples of linear and quadratic Hamiltonian that frequently appear in quantum optics and related fields. The result is a set of differential equations that describe the most Gaussian dynamics for all linear and quadratic single-mode Hamiltonian with generic time-dependent interaction terms. We also discuss the use of the decoupling theorem beyond quadratic Hamiltonians and for solving open-system dynamics.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

We introduce the Quantum Path Kernel, a formulation of quantum machine learning capable of replicating those aspects of deep machine learning.

Next, we prove how the generalization error bound of QGANs depends on the employed Ansatz, the number of qudits, and input states.

  The continuous-time differential Lyapunov equation is widely used in linear optimal control theory. In quantum physics, it is known to appear in Markovian descriptions of linear (quadratic Hamiltonian, linear equations of motion) open quantum systems. We establish the Lyapunov equation as a fundamental and efficient formalism for linear open quantum systems.
