We analyze a class of dynamics of open quantum systems which is governed by the dynamical map mutually commuting at different times. Such evolution may be effectively described via spectral analysis of the corresponding time dependent generators. We consider both Markovian and non-Markovian cases.

We extend the concept of superadiabatic dynamics, or transitionless quantum driving, to quantum open systems whose evolution is governed by a master equation in the Lindblad form. We provide the general framework needed to determine the control strategy required to achieve superadiabaticity. We apply our formalism to two examples consisting of a two-level system coupled to environments with time-dependent bath operators.
We present version 2 of QuTiP, the Quantum Toolbox in Python. Compared to the preceding version [Comput. Phys. Comm. 183 (2012) 1760], we have introduced numerous new features, enhanced performance, made changes in the Application Programming Interface (API) for improved functionality and consistency within the package, as well as increased compatibility with existing conventions used in other scientific software packages for Python. The most significant new features include efficient solvers for arbitrary time-dependent Hamiltonians and collapse operators, support for the Floquet formalism, and new solvers for Bloch-Redfield and Floquet-Markov master equations. Here we introduce these new features, demonstrate their use, and give a summary of the important backward-incompatible API changes introduced in this version.
We present an object-oriented open-source framework for solving the dynamics of open quantum systems written in Python. Arbitrary Hamiltonians, including time-dependent systems, may be built up from operators and states defined by a quantum object class, and then passed on to a choice of master equation or Monte-Carlo solvers. We give an overview of the basic structure for the framework before detailing the numerical simulation of open system dynamics. Several examples are given to illustrate the build up to a complete calculation. Finally, we measure the performance of our library against that of current implementations. The framework described here is particularly well-suited to the fields of quantum optics, superconducting circuit devices, nanomechanics, and trapped ions, while also being ideal for use in classroom instruction.
This paper is concerned with a class of open quantum systems whose dynamic variables have an algebraic structure, similar to that of the Pauli matrices pertaining to finite-level systems. The system interacts with external bosonic fields, and its Hamiltonian and coupling operators depend linearly on the system variables. This results in a Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE) whose drift and dispersion terms are affine and linear functions of the system variables. The quasilinearity of the QSDE leads to tractable dynamics of mean values and higher-order multi-point moments of the system variables driven by vacuum input fields. This allows for the closed-form computation of the quasi-characteristic function of the invariant quantum state of the system and infinite-horizon asymptotic growth rates for a class of cost functionals. The tractability of the moment dynamics is also used for mean square optimal Luenberger observer design in a measurement-based filtering problem for a quasilinear quantum plant, which leads to a Kalman-like quantum filter.
The Stochastic Liouville-von Neumann (SLN) equation describes the dynamics of an open quantum system reduced density matrix coupled to a non-Markovian harmonic environment. The interaction with the environment is represented by complex coloured noises which drive the system, and whose correlation functions are set by the properties of the environment. We present a number of schemes capable of generating coloured noises of this kind that are built on a noise amplitude reduction procedure [Imai et al, Chem. Phys. 446, 134 (2015)], including two analytically optimised schemes. In doing so, we pay close attention to the properties of the correlation functions in Fourier space, which we derive in full. For some schemes the method of Wiener filtering for deconvolutions leads to the realisation that weakening causality in one of the noise correlation functions improves numerical convergence considerably, allowing us to introduce a well controlled method for doing so. We compare the ability of these schemes, along with an alternative optimised scheme [Schmitz and Stockburger, Eur. Phys. J.: Spec. Top. 227, 1929 (2019)], to reduce the growth in the mean and variance of the trace of the reduced density matrix, and their ability to extend the region in which the dynamics is stable and well converged for a range of temperatures. By numerically optimising an additional noise scaling freedom, we identify the scheme which performs best for the parameters used, improving convergence by orders of magnitude and increasing the time accessible by simulation.
