• Abstract: Every year, substantial theoretical and experimental progress is made towards the realisation of a genuinely new computational paradigm in the construction of a quantum computer. But progress is fractal; to make headway is to unearth the next set of obstacles. Decades of work has so far overcome physical, mathematical, engineering, and information theoretic obstacles to produce the remarkable high-fidelity devices we see today. But these devices must be near perfect to be useful. Indeed, advancements so far have precipitated sensitivity to a host of complex dynamical and control-based effects. Chief among these today are non-Markovian memory effects, where interactions between a quantum system and its surrounding environment can give rise to multi-time correlations. In this thesis, we address this issue and formally present a generalisation of quantum process tomography, called process tensor tomography (PTT). This establishes the ability to rigorously and systematically characterise non-Markovian open quantum systems, resolving many long-standing issues in the field. In the first part of this work, we present an original review of the literature and motivate the problem at hand. In the second, we develop the framework of PTT, including experiment design, post-processing algorithms, and both simulated and near-term device demonstrations. In particular, we demonstrate this as a tool for obtaining in-depth diagnostics about the nature and origin of temporal quantum correlations. Lastly, we dedicate our efforts to efficiency and self-consistency. To this effect, we explore theoretically processes with sparse memory structures. We then leverage this to develop various efficient estimation techniques tailored for different settings. The result is a robust and lightweight framework capable of both reconstructing and optimally controlling any non-Markovian open quantum dynamics.

  Nearly all quantum devices are plagued by noisy quantum and classical correlations at the level of the circuit. We establish a theoretical framework that uniformly incorporates and classifies all non-Markovian phenomena. We formulate an efficient reconstruction using network learning, allowing also for easy modularisation and simplification.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
