• Abstract: A procedure to find optimal regimes for quantum thermal engines (QTMs) is described and demonstrated. The QTMs are modelled as the periodically-driven non-equilibrium steady states of open quantum systems, whose dynamics is approximated in this work with Markovian master equations. The action of the external agent, and the couplings to the heat reservoirs can be modulated with control functions, and it is the time-dependent shape of these control functions the object of optimisation. Those functions can be freely parameterised, which permits to constrain the solutions according to experimental or physical requirements.

  "Wasserstein Quantum Monte Carlo" (WQMC) uses the gradient flow induced by the Wasserstein metric, rather than Fisher-Rao metric, and corresponds to transporting the probability mass, rather than teleporting it. We demonstrate empirically that the dynamics of WQMC results in faster convergence to the ground state of molecular systems.

  We introduce an effective treatment of quantum noise in frequency space by systematically clustering higher order Matsubara poles equivalent to an optimized rational decomposition. This leads to an elegant extension of the HEOM to arbitrary temperatures and very general reservoirs in combination with efficiency, high accuracy and long-time stability. As one highly non-trivial application, for the sub-ohmic spin-boson model at vanishing temperature the Shiba relation is quantitatively verified which predicts the long-time decay of correlation functions.

  A central component of variational quantum algorithms (VQA) is the state-preparation circuit, also known as ansatz or variational form. Here, we show that this approach is not always advantageous by introducing ans"atze that incorporate symmetry-breaking unitaries. This work constitutes a first step towards the development of a more general class of symmetry-breaking ans"atze with applications to physics and chemistry problems.
