Abstract: The interplay between coherent unitary evolution and environment-induced dissipation can give rise to a wide range of non-equilibrium dynamics in open quantum systems, ranging from interesting transport phenomena to dynamical phase transitions. However, accessing such long-time dynamics remains challenging for the existing methods developed for the simulation of many-body open quantum systems. We address this problem by developing a quantum generating function (QGF) formalism for open many-body systems for both ensemble-averaged dynamics governed by a Markovian quantum master equation and trajectory-resolved dynamics described by the quantum trajectory formalism, including quantum jumps, and quantum state diffusion. Our approach computes the dynamics of higher-order moments and fluctuation statistics without explicitly evolving the quantum state, thereby providing an efficient and scalable approach for investigating many-body open quantum systems. We demonstrate the versatility of the formalism by applying it to both the integrable open XXZ chain and the nonintegrable open next-nearest-neighbor XXZ spin chain, where it uncovers distinct initial state dependent long-time transport regimes. Our work establishes quantum generating functions as an efficient and scalable framework for investigating long-time dynamics in open quantum many-body systems.

Quantum fluctuation dynamics of open quantum systems with collective operator-valued rates, and applications to Hopfield-like networks [0.0]
We consider a class of open quantum many-body systems that evolves in a Markovian fashion, the dynamical generator being in GKS-Lindblad form. Focusing on the dynamics emerging in the limit of infinitely large systems, we build on the exactness of the mean-field equations for the dynamics of average operators. In this framework, we derive the dynamics of quantum fluctuation operators, that can be used in turn to understand the fate of quantum correlations in the system.

Entanglement transfer, accumulation and retrieval via quantum-walk-based qubit-qudit dynamics [50.591267188664666]
Generation and control of quantum correlations in high-dimensional systems is a major challenge in the present landscape of quantum technologies. We propose a protocol that is able to attain entangled states of $d$-dimensional systems through a quantum-walk-based it transfer & accumulate mechanism. In particular, we illustrate a possible photonic implementation where the information is encoded in the orbital angular momentum and polarization degrees of freedom of single photons.
