Abstract summary: We derive and renormalize the integro-differential equation that governs the detector pointer-variable dynamics. Our formal solution, expressed in terms of Green's functions, allows for the covariant, and causal analysis of induced observables on the field.

Abstract: We describe the dynamics of a detector modeled by a harmonic oscillator coupled with an otherwise free quantum field in a curved spacetime in terms of covariant equations of motion leading to local observables. To achieve this, we derive and renormalize the integro-differential equation that governs the detector pointer-variable dynamics, introducing phenomenological parameters such as a dispersion coefficient and a Lamb-shift parameter. Our formal solution, expressed in terms of Green's functions, allows for the covariant, and causal analysis of induced observables on the field. This formalism can be used for instance to detect non-Gaussianities present in the field's state.

Quantum gravitational decoherence of a mechanical oscillator from spacetime fluctuations [0.0]
We consider the scenario of a fluctuating spacetime due to a deformed commutation relation with a fluctuating deformation parameter, or to a fluctuating metric tensor. By computing the resulting dynamics and averaging over these fluctuations, we find that a system experiences a decoherence in the momentum basis.

Divergences in classical and quantum linear response and equation of motion formulations [0.0]
Calculating molecular properties using quantum devices can be done through the quantum linear response (qLR) or, equivalently, the quantum equation of motion (qEOM) We show that the metric is not the identity, and we show that it depends on the redundant orbital rotations.

We show the ability to restore states of quantum systems from evolution induced by quantum dynamical semigroups perturbed by covariant measures. Our procedure describes reconstruction of quantum states transmitted via quantum channels and as a particular example can be applied to reconstruction of photonic states transmitted via optical fibers.

External gauge field coupled quantum dynamics: gauge choices, Heisenberg algebra representations and gauge invariance in general, and the Landau problem in particular [0.0]
An additive total derivative or divergence term induces nontrivial consequences for the system's canonical phase space formulation. Under such transformations the system's degrees of freedom, abstract quantum states and quantum dynamics are certainly strictly invariant. The role of the global space-time symmetries of the Landau problem and their gauge invariant Noether charges is then also emphasized.

Decimation technique for open quantum systems: a case study with driven-dissipative bosonic chains [62.997667081978825]
Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. 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.

Bulk detection of time-dependent topological transitions in quenched chiral models [48.7576911714538]
We show that the winding number of the Hamiltonian eigenstates can be read-out by measuring the mean chiral displacement of a single-particle wavefunction. This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
