• Abstract: Thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs) and kinetic uncertainty relations (KURs) provide tradeoff relations between measurement precision and thermodynamic cost such as entropy production and activity. Conventionally, these relations are derived using the Cram\'er-Rao inequality, which involves an auxiliary perturbation in deterministic differential equations governing the time evolution of the system's probability distribution. In this study, without relying on the previous formulation based on deterministic evolving equation, we demonstrate that all previously discovered uncertainty relations can be derived solely through the stochastic representation of the same dynamics. For this purpose, we propose a unified method based on stochastic representations for general Markovian dynamics. Extending beyond classical systems, we apply this method to Markovian open quantum systems by unraveling their dynamics, deriving quantum uncertainty relations that are physically more accessible and tighter in regimes where quantum effects play a significant role. This fully establishes uncertainty relations for both classical and quantum systems as intrinsic properties of their stochastic nature.

• Dynamics of Open Quantum Systems with Initial System-Environment Correlations via Stochastic Unravelings [0.0]
  In open quantum systems, the reduced dynamics is described starting from the assumption that the system and the environment are initially uncorrelated. For the uncorrelated scenario, unravelings are a powerful tool to simulate the dynamics, but so far they have not been used in the most general case in which correlations are initially present. In our work, we employ the bath positive (B+) or one-sided positive decomposition formalism as a starting point to generalize unraveling in the presence of initial correlations.

• Violation of the Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relation in Quantum Collisional Models [0.0]
  We investigate the thermodynamic uncertainty relation within a quantum collisional model. For the Markovian dynamics, we examine the classical and quantum TUR bounds in the non-equilibrium steady-state regime. For the two non-Markovian approaches, we find that the violation of the finite-time TUR bound is highly dependent on the type of non-Markovianity.

• Fundamental bounds on precision and response for quantum trajectory observables [0.0]
  We show that quantum coherence can enhance precision and violate classical uncertainty relations in quantum systems. We present three key results: (i) a quantum generalization of the uncertainty relation, which bounds the relative fluctuations of currents in terms of entropy production and dynamical activity; (ii) a quantum inverse uncertainty relation, which constrains the relative fluctuations of arbitrary counting observables based on their instantaneous fluctuations and the spectral gap of the symmetrized Liouvillian; and (iii) a quantum response kinetic uncertainty relation, which bounds the response of general observables to kinetic perturbations in terms of dynamical activity.

  This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization. We propose a representation learning method that induces disentanglement by simultaneously learning the latent factors. We show that the latent factors can be recovered by regularizing the learned causal graph to be sparse.

We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

• Thermodynamics of Precision in Markovian Open Quantum Dynamics [0.0]
  thermodynamic and kinetic uncertainty relations indicate trade-offs between the relative fluctuation of observables and thermodynamic quantities. We derive finite-time lower bounds on the relative fluctuation of both dynamical observables and their first passage times for arbitrary initial states. We find that the product of the relative fluctuation and entropy production or dynamical activity is enhanced by quantum coherence in a generic class of dissipative processes of systems with nondegenerate energy levels.
