• Abstract: In this work, we present a new diagrammatic method for computing the effective Hamiltonian of driven nonlinear oscillators. At the heart of our method is a self-consistent perturbation expansion developed in phase space, which establishes a direct correspondence between the diagram and algebra. Each diagram corresponds to a Hamiltonian term, the prefactor of which, like those in Feynman diagrams, involves a simple counting of topologically equivalent diagrams. Leveraging the algorithmic simplicity of our diagrammatic method, we provide a readily available computer program that generates the effective Hamiltonian to arbitrary order. We show the consistency of our schemes with existing perturbation methods such as the Schrieffer-Wolff method. Furthermore, we recover the classical harmonic balance scheme from our result in the limit of $\hbar\rightarrow0$. Our method contributes to the understanding of dynamic control within quantum systems and achieves precision essential for advancing future quantum information processors. To demonstrate its value and versatility, we analyze five examples from the field of superconducting circuits. These include an experimental proposal for the Hamiltonian stabilization of a three-legged Schr\"odinger cat, modeling of energy renormalization phenomena in superconducting circuits experiments, a comprehensive characterization of multiphoton resonances in a driven transmon, a proposal for an inductively shunted transmon circuit, and a characterization of classical ultra-subharmonic bifurcation in driven oscillators. Lastly, we benchmark the performance of our method by comparing it with experimental data and exact Floquet numerical diagonalization.

This connection suggests an expansion of the characteristic function in terms of Feynman diagrams. We discuss how these ideas can be generalized to finite temperatures via the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism.

  We propose a hybrid quantum-classical method to investigate the equilibrium physics and the dynamics of strongly correlated fermionic models with spin-based quantum processors. Our proposal avoids the usual pitfalls of fermion-to-spin mappings thanks to a slave-spin method which allows to approximate the original Hamiltonian into a sum of self-correlated free-fermions and spin Hamiltonians. We show, through realistic numerical simulations of current Rydberg processors, that the method yields quantitatively viable results even in the presence of imperfections.

  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 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.

We show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.
