Abstract: We present a general and practical theoretical framework to investigate how energy is dissipated in open quantum system dynamics. This is done by quantifying the contributions of individual bath components to the overall dissipation of the system. The framework is based on the Nakajima-Zwanzig projection operator technique which allows us to express the rate of energy dissipation into a specific bath degree of freedom by using traces of operator products. The approach captures system-bath interactions to all orders, but is based on second-order perturbation theory on the off-diagonal subsystem's couplings and a Markovian description of the bath. The usefulness of our theory is demonstrated by applying it to various models of open quantum systems involving harmonic oscillator or spin baths, and connecting the outcomes to existing results such as our previously reported formula derived for locally coupled harmonic bath [J. Chem. Phys. 154, 084109 (2021)]. We also prove that the dissipation calculated by our theory rigorously satisfies thermodynamic principles such as energy conservation and detailed balance. Overall, the strategy can be used to develop the theory and simulation of dissipation pathways to interpret and engineer the dynamics of open quantum systems.

Observing Time-Dependent Energy Level Renormalisation in an Ultrastrongly Coupled Open System [37.69303106863453]
We show how strong coupling and memory effects influence the energy levels of open quantum systems. Measurements reveal a time-dependent shift in the system's energy levels of up to 15% of the bare system frequency. Our findings provide direct evidence of dynamic energy level renormalisation in strongly coupled open quantum systems.

Microscopic thermal machines promise to play an important role in future quantum technologies. Making such devices widely applicable will require effective strategies to channel their output into easily accessible storage systems like classical degrees of freedom. We develop a self-consistent theoretical framework that makes it possible to model such quantum-classical hybrid devices in a thermodynamically consistent manner.

A quantum fluctuation theorem for any Lindblad master equation [0.0]
We present a general quantum fluctuation theorem for the entropy production of an open quantum system coupled to multiple environments. The theorem is genuinely quantum, as it can be expressed in terms of conservation of a Hermitian operator. We show that the fluctuation theorem amounts to a relation between time-reversed dynamics of the global density matrix and a two-time correlation function.
