• Abstract: Physical quantum systems are generically coupled to an environment, resulting in open system dynamics. A typical approach to simulating this dynamics is to propagate the density matrix of the system via the Lindblad master equation. This approach is numerically challenging due to the size of the density matrix, which has led to the development of quantum jump methods, which unravel the density matrix into an ensemble of state vectors. These methods utilize a stochastic sampling of the quantum jump times, which becomes inefficent for weakly dissipative dynamics, in which jumps are rare events. Here, we propose the deterministic quantum jump (DQJ) method, which we show to outperform standard quantum jump methods in the weakly dissipative regime, by removing the error of stochastic sampling. We describe the methodology at the single-jump and two-jump level, reconstructing the density matrix at the corresponding level. We demonstrate the performance of the method for two examples, the dissipative transverse-field Ising model, and the dissipative Kerr oscillator. Given that quantum technologies such as quantum computing have weakly dissipative quantum dynamics as their central focus, we propose this method to be utilized in that context, for exploring and understanding quantum technology platforms.

We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
