• Authors: Lindsay Bassman Oftelie, Michele Campisi,
• Abstract summary: We extend the interferometric scheme, originally conceived for closed systems, to the open system case and implement it on a superconducting quantum computer. We demonstrate that the method can be used as a diagnostic tool to probe physical properties of the system-bath compound. Our experiments corroborate that the interferometric scheme is a promising tool to achieve the long-sought experimental validation of the Jarzynski equality for arbitrary open quantum systems.

• Abstract: We report on the experimental measurement of the work statistics of a genuinely open quantum system using a quantum computer. Such measurement has remained elusive thus far due to the inherent difficulty in measuring the total energy change of a system-bath compound (which is the work) in the open quantum system scenario. We overcome this difficulty by extending the interferometric scheme, originally conceived for closed systems, to the open system case and implement it on a superconducting quantum computer, taking advantage of the relatively high levels of noise on current quantum hardware to realize an open quantum system. We demonstrate that the method can be used as a diagnostic tool to probe physical properties of the system-bath compound, such as its temperature and specific transitions frequencies in its spectrum. Our experiments corroborate that the interferometric scheme is a promising tool to achieve the long-sought experimental validation of the Jarzynski equality for arbitrary open quantum systems.

  We present an approach where the quantum computation is supplemented by a classical result. Taking advantage of its anticipation also leads to a new type of quantum measurements, which we call anticipative. In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.

  We propose and demonstrate a unified hierarchical method to measure correlation functions. The time evolution of the system is repeatedly interrupted by interacting an ancilla qubit with the system. We implement the method on a quantum computer in order to measure single-particle Green's functions of a driven-dissipative fermionic system.

  In quantum information processing quantum operations are often processed alongside measurements which result in classical data. Non-unitary dynamical processes can take place on the system, for which common quantum channel descriptions fail to describe the time evolution. Quantum measurements are correctly treated by means of so-called quantum instruments capturing both classical outputs and post-measurement quantum states.
