• Abstract: Abstract Simulating mixed-state evolution in open quantum systems is crucial for various chemical physics, quantum optics, and computer science applications. These simulations typically follow the Lindblad master equation dynamics. An alternative approach known as quantum state diffusion unraveling is based on the trajectories of pure states generated by random wave functions, which evolve according to a nonlinear It\^o-Schr\"odinger equation (ISE). This study introduces weak first- and second-order solvers for the ISE based on directly applying the It\^o-Taylor expansion with exact derivatives in the interaction picture. We tested the method on free and driven Morse oscillators coupled to a thermal environment and found that both orders allowed practical estimation with a few dozen iterations. The variance was relatively small compared to the linear unraveling and did not grow with time. The second-order solver delivers much higher accuracy and stability with bigger time steps than the first-order scheme, with a small additional workload. However, the second-order algorithm has quadratic complexity with the number of Lindblad operators as opposed to the linear complexity of the first-order algorithm.

  The time-marching strategy is a natural strategy for solving time-dependent differential equations on classical computers. We show that a time-marching based quantum solver can suffer from exponentially vanishing success probability with respect to the number of time steps. This provides a path of designing quantum differential equation solvers that is alternative to those based on quantum linear systems algorithms.

  Vision transformers (ViTs) have pushed the state-of-the-art for various visual recognition tasks by patch-wise image tokenization followed by self-attention.
