• Title: Quantum space-time Poincaré inequality for Lindblad dynamics
• Authors: Bowen Li, Jianfeng Lu,
• Abstract summary: We show that incorporating a Hamiltonian component into a detailed balanced Lindbladian can generically enhance its spectral gap. We derive explicit and constructive exponential decay estimates for convergence in the noncommutative $L2$-norm. This analysis relies on establishing a quantum analog of space-time Poincar'e inequality.

• Abstract: We investigate the mixing properties of primitive Markovian Lindblad dynamics (i.e., quantum Markov semigroups), where the detailed balance is disrupted by a coherent drift term. It is known that the sharp $L^2$-exponential convergence rate of Lindblad dynamics is determined by the spectral gap of the generator. We show that incorporating a Hamiltonian component into a detailed balanced Lindbladian can generically enhance its spectral gap, thereby accelerating the mixing. In addition, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the spectral gap for Lindblad dynamics with a large coherent contribution. However, estimating the spectral gap, particularly for a non-detailed balanced Lindbladian, presents a significant challenge. In the case of hypocoercive Lindblad dynamics, we extend the variational framework originally developed for underdamped Langevin dynamics to derive fully explicit and constructive exponential decay estimates for convergence in the noncommutative $L^2$-norm. This analysis relies on establishing a quantum analog of space-time Poincar\'{e} inequality. Furthermore, we provide several examples with connections to quantum noise and quantum Gibbs samplers as applications of our theoretical results.

  We introduce a method for reconstructing the corresponding Lindbaldian master equation given any target NESS. The kernel (null-space) of the correlation matrix corresponds to Lindbladian solutions. We illustrate the method in different systems, ranging from bosonic Gaussian to dissipative-driven collective spins.

  We investigate the balance-breaking dynamics by partly eliminating jumps from postselection experiments. To describe this dynamics, a non-linear Lindblad master equation (NLME) is derived from quantum trajectory method. The NLME shows significant advantages in analytical analysis over quantum trajectory method.

• An exactly solvable dissipative spin liquid [0.0]
  We study a Lindbladian, describing a square-lattice spin-liquid with dissipative coupling to the environment, that admits an exact solution in terms of Majorana fermions coupled to $mathZ$ gauge fields. This solution allows us to characterize the steady-state solutions as well as quasiparticle'' excitations within the Lindbladian spectrum. This exactly solvable Lindbladian is expected to provide a starting point for a better understanding of the behavior of fractionalized systems under dissipative time evolution.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

  We consider the dynamics of fluctuations in the quantum asymmetric simple exclusion process (Q-ASEP) with periodic boundary conditions. We show that fluctuations of the fermionic degrees of freedom obey evolution equations of Lindblad type, and derive the corresponding Lindbladians. We carry out a detailed analysis of the steady states and slow modes that govern the late time behaviour and show that the dynamics of fluctuations of observables is described in terms of closed sets of coupled linear differential-difference equations.

• Floquet exceptional contours in Lindblad dynamics with time-periodic drive and dissipation [0.0]
  We present Floquet analysis of a prototypical qubit whose drive or dissipator strengths are varied periodically. We find that periodic modulations lead to EP lines at small dissipator strengths, and a rich EP structure in the parameter space. Our results show that extending Lindblad Liouvillians to the Floquet domain is a new, potentially preferred route to accessing exceptional points.
