Title: Markovian and non-Markovian master equations versus an exactly solvable model of a qubit in a cavity
Authors: Zihan Xia, Juan Garcia-Nila, Daniel Lidar,
Abstract summary: Quantum master equations are commonly used to model the dynamics of open quantum systems, but their accuracy is rarely compared with the analytical solution of exactly solvable models. We consider the non-Markovian time-conless master equation up to the second (Redfield) and fourth orders as well as three types of Markovian master equations. We demonstrate that the coarse-grained master equation outperforms the standard RWA-based Lindblad master equation for weak coupling or high qubit frequency.

Abstract: Quantum master equations are commonly used to model the dynamics of open quantum systems, but their accuracy is rarely compared with the analytical solution of exactly solvable models. In this work, we perform such a comparison for the damped Jaynes-Cummings model of a qubit in a leaky cavity, for which an analytical solution is available in the one-excitation subspace. We consider the non-Markovian time-convolutionless master equation up to the second (Redfield) and fourth orders as well as three types of Markovian master equations: the coarse-grained, cumulant, and standard rotating-wave approximation (RWA) Lindblad equations. We compare the exact solution to these master equations for three different spectral densities: impulse, Ohmic, and triangular. We demonstrate that the coarse-grained master equation outperforms the standard RWA-based Lindblad master equation for weak coupling or high qubit frequency (relative to the spectral density high-frequency cutoff $\omega_c$), where the Markovian approximation is valid. In the presence of non-Markovian effects characterized by oscillatory, non-decaying behavior, the TCL approximation closely matches the exact solution for short evolution times (in units of $\omega_c^{-1}$) even outside the regime of validity of the Markovian approximations. For long evolution times, all master equations perform poorly, as quantified in terms of the trace-norm distance from the exact solution. The fourth-order time-convolutionless master equation achieves the top performance in all cases. Our results highlight the need for reliable approximation methods to describe open-system quantum dynamics beyond the short-time limit.

Invalidation of the Bloch-Redfield Equation in Sub-Ohmic Regime via a Practical Time-Convolutionless Fourth-Order Master Equation [0.0]
We optimize the computation of the fourth-order time-convolutionless master equation to meet this need. Our master equation accounts for simultaneous relaxation and dephasing, resulting in coefficients proportional to the system's spectral density over frequency derivative. We analyze the approach to a ground state in a generic open quantum system and demonstrate that it is not reliably computed by the Bloch-Redfield equation alone.

This work is a survey about the hierarchical equations of motion and their implementation with the tensor-train format. We recall the link with the perturbative second order time convolution equations also known as the Bloch-Redfield equations. The main points of the tensor-train expansion are illustrated in an example with a qubit interacting with a bath described by a Lorentzian spectral density.

We consider an environment formed by incoherent photons as a resource for controlling open quantum systems via an incoherent control. We exploit a coherent control in the Hamiltonian and an incoherent control in the dissipator which induces the time-dependent decoherence rates.

Third quantization of open quantum systems: new dissipative symmetries and connections to phase-space and Keldysh field theory formulations [77.34726150561087]
We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

Unraveling-paired dynamical maps can recover the input of quantum channels [0.0]
We show that the "influence martingale" pairs any time-local master equation with a one parameter family of Lindblad-Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan master equations. Finding the lowest upper bound on the variance of the influence martingale yields an explicit criterion of "optimal pairing" We use the embedding to reverse a completely positive evolution, a quantum channel, to its initial condition thereby providing a protocol to preserve quantum memory against decoherence.

Completely Positive, Simple, and Possibly Highly Accurate Approximation of the Redfield Equation [0.0]
This approximation only truncates terms in the Redfield equation that average out over a time-scale typical of the quantum system. GAME (geometric-arithmetic adaptable master equation) is between its time-independent, time-dependent, and Floquet form. In the solvable exactly, three-level, Jaynes-Cummings model, we find that the error of the approximate state is almost an order of magnitude lower than that obtained by solving the coarse-grained master equation.
