• Abstract summary: We show thatLambda(tau)$ arises from suddenly coupling a system to one or more thermal baths with a strength that is neither weak nor strong. We employ the Choi-Jamiolkowski isomorphism so that $hatLambda(tau)$ can be fully reconstructed. Our numerical examples of interacting spinless Fermi chains and the single impurity Anderson model demonstrate regimes where our approach can offer a significant speedup.

• Abstract: The most general description of quantum evolution up to a time $\tau$ is a completely positive tracing preserving map known as a dynamical map $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$. Here we consider $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$ arising from suddenly coupling a system to one or more thermal baths with a strength that is neither weak nor strong. Given no clear separation of characteristic system/bath time scales $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$ is generically expected to be non-Markovian, however we do assume the ensuing dynamics has a unique steady state implying the baths possess a finite memory time $\tau_{\rm m}$. By combining several techniques within a tensor network framework we directly and accurately extract $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$ for a small number of interacting fermionic modes coupled to infinite non-interacting Fermi baths. We employ the Choi-Jamiolkowski isomorphism so that $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$ can be fully reconstructed from a single pure state calculation of the unitary dynamics of the system, bath and their replica auxillary modes up to time $\tau$. From $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$ we also compute the time local propagator $\hat{\mathcal{L}}(\tau)$. By examining the convergence with $\tau$ of the instantaneous fixed points of these objects we establish their respective memory times $\tau^{\Lambda}_{\rm m}$ and $\tau^{\mathcal{L}}_{\rm m}$. Beyond these times, the propagator $\hat{\mathcal{L}}(\tau)$ and dynamical map $\hat{\Lambda}(\tau)$ accurately describe all the subsequent long-time relaxation dynamics up to stationarity. Our numerical examples of interacting spinless Fermi chains and the single impurity Anderson model demonstrate regimes where our approach can offer a significant speedup in determining the stationary state compared to directly simulating the long-time limit.

  We present a quantum generalization of these tools through a generic bottleneck lemma. This lemma focuses on quantum measures of distance, analogous to the classical Hamming distance but rooted in uniquely quantum principles. Even with sublinear barriers, we use Feynman-Kac techniques to lift classical to quantum ones establishing tight lower bound $T_mathrmmix = 2Omega(nalpha)$.

  We consider the problem of learning an $varepsilon$-optimal policy in a general class of continuous-space Markov decision processes (MDPs) having smooth Bellman operators. Key to our solution is a novel projection technique based on ideas from harmonic analysis. Our result bridges the gap between two popular but conflicting perspectives on continuous-space MDPs.

  This paper considers the RMSProp and its momentum extension and establishes the convergence rate of $frac1Tsum_k=1T. Our convergence rate matches the lower bound with respect to all the coefficients except the dimension $d$. Our convergence rate can be considered to be analogous to the $frac1Tsum_k=1T.

  We consider the Reinforcement Learning problem of controlling an unknown dynamical system to maximise the long-term average reward along a single trajectory. Most of the literature considers system interactions that occur in discrete time and discrete state-action spaces. We show that the celebrated optimism protocol applies when the sub-tasks (learning and planning) can be performed effectively.

  Solving optimal transport with an entropic regularization requires computing a $ntimes n$ kernel matrix that is repeatedly applied to a vector. We propose to use instead ground costs of the form $c(x,y)=-logdotpvarphi(x)varphi(y)$ where $varphi$ is a map from the ground space onto the positive orthant $RRr_+$, with $rll n$.
