- Abstract: The transfer tensor method is a versatile tool for analyzing and propagating general open quantum systems. It captures in a compact manner all memory effects in a non-Markovian system through a straightforward transformation of a set of dynamical maps. Transfer tensors provide the exact convolutional propagator associated with a given time discretization over the past evolution of an open quantum system. Here we show that, for any finite time discretization, the memory kernel of the Nakajima Zwanzig equation deviates from the exact transfer tensors, although both converge in the continuous-time limit, as expected. We examine this behaviour in the context of an analytically solvable model: a two level atom resonant with a lossy cavity in the Jaynes Cummings limit. The atomic dynamics separate into two decoupled degrees of freedom -- the coherence and the population inversion. We derive exact expressions for the dynamical map, the transfer tensors and the memory kernel governing the coherence, and we relate them to their counterparts for the population inversion. As a function of the ratio between the cavity loss rate and the atom-cavity coupling strength, we identify regions of enhanced non-Markovianity in which the system can be described as fully Markovian for certain time-step choices.

and connections to phase-space and Keldysh field theory formulations [77.34726150561087]
We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods.
We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians.
For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

We study quantum circuits consisting of unitary gates, projective measurements, and control operations that steer the system towards a pure absorbing state.
Two types of phase transition occur as the rate of these control operations is increased: a measurement-induced entanglement transition, and a directed percolation transition into the absorbing state.

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.
