• Abstract: Unitarity violations were recently proposed as a cause of objective quantum state reduction. This complements proposals based on stochastic modifications of Schrodinger's equation, but also differs from them in several aspects. Here, we formalise the description of unitarity violations, and show that they generically imply models of dynamical quantum state reduction (DQSR) driven by colored noise. We present a formalism for exploring such models as well as a prescription for enforcing explicit norm-preservation, and we show that the resulting pure state dynamics is described by a modified von-Neumann Liouville equation which in a particular limit reduces to the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) master equations. We additionally show adherence to Born's rule emerging in the same limit from a physical constraint relating fluctuating and dissipating components of the model.

• Superluminal signalling witness for quantum state reduction with correlated noise [0.0]
  Models for quantum state reduction suggest weak modifications to Schr"odinger's equation that dominate macroscopic objects. In large classes of quantum state reduction models, formulating a master equation for the quantum state is prohibitively difficult or impossible. We apply the witness to several relevant cases, and find that correlated-noise models in general allow for superluminal signalling.

• Continuous spontaneous localization from the white-noise limit of spontaneous unitarity violation [0.0]
  Colored noise driven collapse theories extend the equilibrium description of spontaneous symmetry breaking to spontaneous violations of unitarity. We show that this limit coincides with a subclass of continuous spontaneous localization (CSL) models. We also extend this model to a form that can be applied to any initial state.

  We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media. We prove that each of the two field parts can be expressed in term of particular bosonic operators, which in turn diagonalize the electromagnetic Hamiltonian.

  We present and discuss a master equation blueprint for a generic class of quantum measurement feedback based models of friction. A desired velocity-dependent friction force is realized on average by random repeated applications of unsharp momentum measurements. We highlight the possibility of feedback-induced correlations between otherwise non-interacting particles.

We use classical simulations to explore a novel variational ansatz that takes advantage of this fermionic representation. We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.

  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.

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.

In this work we show that this mechanism can lead to unconventional states of quantum matter as the absence of thermalization lifts constraints imposed by equilibrium statistical physics.

• 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.
