• Abstract: In this work we consider the master equations for composite open quantum systems. We provide purely algebraic formulae for terms of perturbation series defining such equations. We also give conditions under which the Bogolubov-van Hove limit exists and discuss some corrections to this limit. We present an example to illustrate our results. In particular, this example shows, that inhomogeneous terms in time-convolutionless master equations can vanish after reservoir correlation time, but lead to renormalization of initial conditions at such a timescale.

  This paper explores the explicit design of quantum circuits for quantum simulation of partial differential equations (PDEs) with physical boundary conditions. We present two methods for handling the inhomogeneous terms arising from time-dependent physical boundary conditions. We then apply the quantum simulation technique from [CJL23] to transform the resulting non-autonomous system to an autonomous system in one higher dimension.

• Optimal form of time-local non-Lindblad master equations [0.0]
  Time-local quantum master equations that describe open quantum systems beyond the limit of ultraweak system-bath coupling are often not of Go-Kossarini-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) form. Here, we show that not only the former, but also the latter can be brought to pseudo-Lindblad form, with a dissipator that resembles that of a GKSL equation.

  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

  We focus on the notion of quantum hitting time for discrete-time Szegedy quantum walks, compared to its classical counterpart. We provide a detailed proof of quadratic speedup for time-reversible walks within the Szegedy framework. We explore the use of a general distribution in place of the stationary distribution in the definition of quantum hitting time.

A precise general law for the time evolution of states replacing the Schr"odinger equation is formulated within the so-called ETH-Approach to Quantum Mechanics.

• The role of boundary conditions in quantum computations of scattering observables [58.720142291102135]
  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
