• Authors: Tatsuhiko Shirai, Takashi Mori,
• Abstract summary: We present a collective relaxation dynamics of autocorrelation functions in the stationary state. Our theory predicts that a bulk-dissipated system generically shows an accelerated decay before the regime due to the scrambling of quantum information associated with the operator spreading.

• Abstract: Markovian open many-body quantum systems display complicated relaxation dynamics. The spectral gap of the Liouvillian characterizes the asymptotic decay rate towards the stationary state, but it has recently been pointed out that the spectral gap does not necessarily determine the overall relaxation time. Our understanding on the relaxation process before the asymptotically long-time regime is still limited. We here present a collective relaxation dynamics of autocorrelation functions in the stationary state. As a key quantity in the analysis, we introduce the instantaneous decay rate, which characterizes the transient relaxation and converges to the conventional asymptotic decay rate in the long-time limit. Our theory predicts that a bulk-dissipated system generically shows an accelerated decay before the asymptotic regime due to the scrambling of quantum information associated with the operator spreading.

• Beyond Fermi's golden rule with the statistical Jacobi approximation [0.0]
  We derive an analytic expression for the fidelity after a quench to an ergodic Hamiltonian. The expression is valid for both weak and strong quenches, and timescales before finiteness of the Hilbert space limits the fidelity. It reproduces initial decay and exponential decay with a rate which, for strong quenches, differs from Fermi's golden rule.

• Symmetrized Liouvillian Gap in Markovian Open Quantum Systems [0.0]
  We show a rigorous upper bound on the transient decay of auto-correlation functions in the steady state by introducing the symmetrized Liouvillian gap. It is numerically shown that the symmetrized Liouvillian gap always give a correct upper bound on the decay of the auto-correlation function, but the standard Liouvillian gap does not.

  We formulate a passive quantum detector based on a quantum hypothesis testing framework under the setting of finite sample size. Under the assumption that the attacker adopts separable optimal strategies, we derive that the worst-case average error bound converges to zero exponentially. We adopt our formulations upon a case study of detection with quantum radars.

  Phase transitions correspond to the singular behavior of physical systems in response to continuous control parameters like temperature or external fields. Near continuous phase transitions, associated with the divergence of a correlation length, universal power-law scaling behavior with critical exponents independent of microscopic system details is found.

  Many-body quantum systems in nonequilibrium remain one of the frontiers of many-body physics. Recent work on strongly correlated electrons in DC electric fields illustrated that the system may evolve through successive quasi-thermal states. We demonstrate an extrapolation scheme that uses the short-time transient calculation to obtain the retarded quantities.

• Resolving Discrepancy between Liouvillian Gap and Relaxation Time in Boundary-Dissipated Quantum Many-Body Systems [0.0]
  We show that relaxation time due to diffusive transports in a boundary dissipated many-body quantum system is determined not by the gap or low-lying eigenvalues of the Liouvillian. This finding resolves an apparent discrepancy reported in the literature between the inverse of the Liouvillian gap and the relaxation time in dissipative many-body quantum systems.
