• Title: Quantum dynamics via a hidden Liouville space
• Authors: Gombojav O. Ariunbold
• Abstract summary: We introduce a nonstandard iterative technique where time interval is divided into a large number of discrete subintervals with an ultrashort duration. We choose two-state spin raising and lowering operators for virtual space operators because of their simple algebra. We implement our technique for an example of a charged particle in both harmonic and anharmonic potentials.

• Abstract: Quantum dynamics for arbitrary system are traditionally realized by time evolutions of wave functions in Hilbert space and/or density operators in Liouville space. However, the traditional simulations may occasionally turn out to be challenging for the quantum dynamics, particularly those governed by the nonlinear Hamiltonians. In this letter, we introduce a nonstandard iterative technique where time interval is divided into a large number of discrete subintervals with an ultrashort duration; and the Liouville space is briefly expanded with an additional (virtual) space only within these subintervals. We choose two-state spin raising and lowering operators for virtual space operators because of their simple algebra. This tremendously reduces the cost of time-consuming calculations. We implement our technique for an example of a charged particle in both harmonic and anharmonic potentials. The temporal evolutions of the probability for the particle being in the ground state are obtained numerically and compared to the analytical solutions. We further discuss the physics insight of this technique based on a thought-experiment. Successive processes intrinsically 'hitchhiking' via virtual space in discrete ultrashort time duration, are the hallmark of our simple iterative technique. We believe that this novel technique has potential for solving numerous problems which often pose a challenge when using the traditional approach based on time-ordered exponentials.

  We introduce a generalization valid for driven quantum systems governed by a time-dependent Hamiltonian. This representation is used to establish a novel class of fundamental limits to the quantum speed of evolution and operator growth. We also discuss generalizations of the algorithm, adapted to discretized time evolutions and periodic Hamiltonians, with applications to many-body systems.

  We revisit the path integral description of quantum tunneling and show how it can be generalized to excited states. For clarity, we focus on the simple toy model of a point particle in a double-well potential, for which we perform all steps explicitly. We find that, for systems without an explicit time-dependence, our approach reproduces the picture of an instanton-like solution defined on a finite Euclidean-time interval.

  We simulate a noisy quantum Fourier transform processor with up to 21 qubits. We take into account microscopic dissipative processes rather than relying on digital error models. We show that depending on the dissipative mechanisms at play, the choice of input state has a strong impact on the performance of the quantum algorithm.

  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.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
