• Abstract: Dynamical decoupling is a long-established and effective way to suppress unwanted interactions in qubit systems, enabling advances in fields ranging from quantum metrology to quantum computing. For general qudit systems, however, comparable protocols remain rare, mainly because Hamiltonian engineering in higher dimensions lacks the geometric intuition available for qubits. Here we present a general framework for dynamical decoupling in qudit systems, based on Lie group representation theory. By extending the group theory approach to dynamical decoupling, we show how decoupling groups can be systematically identified among the finite subgroups of SU(d) by analyzing their access to the irreducible components of the operator space. As an application, we construct new pulse sequences for interacting qutrit systems based on finite subgroups of SU(3), and show how subgroup factorizations and group orientations can be exploited to obtain shorter and more experimentally practical protocols for spin-1 systems with large zero-field splitting. We further show that the same symmetry-based framework yields quantum error-correcting codes: whenever a finite subgroup of SU(d) acts as a decoupling group for the relevant error algebra, the associated one-dimensional symmetry sectors define codespaces satisfying the Knill-Laflamme conditions, thereby unifying dynamical decoupling and quantum error correction in multi-level quantum systems.

• 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.

• Sub-system quantum dynamics using coupled cluster downfolding techniques [0.0]
  We discuss extending the sub-system embedding sub-algebra coupled cluster (SESCC) formalism and the double unitary coupled cluster (DUCC) Ansatz to the time domain. Using these formalisms, it is possible to calculate the energy of the entire system as an eigenvalue of downfolded/effective Hamiltonian in the active space. It can also be shown that downfolded Hamiltonians integrate out Fermionic degrees of freedom that do not correspond to the physics encapsulated by the active space.
