• Title: Qubit Dynamics beyond Lindblad: Non-Markovianity versus Rotating Wave Approximation
• Authors: Kiyoto Nakamura, Joachim Ankerhold
• Abstract summary: Even subtle effects in the interaction between qubits and environmental degrees of freedom become progressively relevant and experimentally visible. This applies particularly to the timescale separations that are at the basis of the most commonly used numerical simulation platform for qubit operations. We shed light on the questions (i) to which extent it is possible to monitor violations of either of these timescale separations experimentally and (ii) which of them is the most severe to provide highly accurate predictions.

• Abstract: With increasing performance of actual qubit devices, even subtle effects in the interaction between qubits and environmental degrees of freedom become progressively relevant and experimentally visible. This applies particularly to the timescale separations that are at the basis of the most commonly used numerical simulation platform for qubit operations, namely, the conventional Lindblad master equation (LE): the Markov approximation and the rotating wave approximation (RWA). In this contribution we shed light on the questions (i) to which extent it is possible to monitor violations of either of these timescale separations experimentally and (ii) which of them is the most severe to provide highly accurate predictions within (approximate) numerical schemes in relevant parameter ranges. For this purpose, we compare three simulation methods for the reduced density matrix with progressively growing accuracy. In particular, predictions for relaxation and decoherence of a qubit system in the presence of reservoirs with Ohmic and sub-Ohmic spectral densities are explored and, with the aid of proper protocols based on Ramsey experiments, the role of non-Markovianity and RWA are revealed. We discuss potential implications for future experiments and the design of approximate yet accurate numerical approaches.

  We introduce a machine learning estimator for the impulse response function (IRF) in settings where a time series of interest is subjected to multiple discrete treatments. The proposed estimator can rely on fully nonparametric relations between treatment and outcome variables, opening up the possibility to use flexible machine learning approaches to estimate IRFs.

• Superresolution in separation estimation between two dynamic incoherent sources using spatial demultiplexing [0.0]
  Recently, perfect measurement based on spatial mode demultiplexing (SPADE) in Hermite-Gauss modes allowed one to reach the quantum limit of precision for estimation of separation between two weak incoherent stationary sources. In this paper, we consider another deviation from the perfect setup by discarding the assumption about the stationarity of the sources. We formulate a measurement algorithm that allows for the reduction of one parameter for estimation in the stationary sources scenario.

We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

  Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method. A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations. We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
