• Authors: Iman Sargolzahi
• Abstract summary: We show that initial correlations between the system and the environment are always detectable. We also find the condition for existence of the optimal unitary evolution, for which the entire correlation is locally detectable. On the other hand, we see that one can find cases for which initial correlations between the system and the environment always remain undetectable.

• Abstract: Consider an open quantum system which interacts with its environment. Assuming that the experimenter has access only to the system, an interesting question is whether it is possible to detect initial correlations between the system and the environment by performing measurements only on the system. Various methods have been proposed to detect correlations by local measurements on the system. After reviewing these methods, we will show that initial correlations between the system and the environment are always detectable. In particular, we will show that one can always find a unitary evolution, for the whole system-environment, such that the trace distance method, proposed to witness correlations locally, succeeds. We also find the condition for existence of the optimal unitary evolution, for which the entire correlation is locally detectable. Next, we address the case where the system and the environment interact through a time-independent Hamiltonian. For this case we will see that if the initial correlation can be detected locally at some time t , then it can be detected for almost all the other times too. On the other hand, we see that one can find cases for which initial correlations between the system and the environment always remain undetectable even though the unitary evolution, generated by the Hamiltonian, is not factorized.

We develop an end-to-end approach which includes an encoder-decoder module that learns system embeddings.

This paper derives a sufficient condition for the identifiability of homogeneous linear ODE systems from a sequence of equally-spaced error-free observations sampled from a single trajectory.

• Causality-Based Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection [63.799474860969156]
  We formulate the anomaly detection problem from a causal perspective and view anomalies as instances that do not follow the regular causal mechanism to generate the multivariate data. We then propose a causality-based anomaly detection approach, which first learns the causal structure from data and then infers whether an instance is an anomaly relative to the local causal mechanism. We evaluate our approach with both simulated and public datasets as well as a case study on real-world AIOps applications.

Meanwhile, quantum information about the system becomes inaccessible to local observers. We prove a result about quantum channels indicating that an aspect of this phenomenon is completely general.
