Supersymmetry (SUSY) in quantum mechanics is extended from square-integrable states to those satisfying the outgoing-wave boundary condition, in a Klein-Gordon formulation. This boundary condition allows both the usual normal modes and quasinormal modes with complex eigenvalues. The simple generalization leads to three features: the counting of eigenstates under SUSY becomes more systematic; the linear-space structure of outgoing waves (nontrivially different from the usual Hilbert space of square-integrable states) is preserved by SUSY; and multiple states at the same frequency (not allowed for normal modes) are also preserved. The existence or otherwise of SUSY partners is furthermore relevant to the question of inversion: are open systems uniquely determined by their complex outgoing-wave spectra?

Quasinormal modes are the counterparts in open systems of normal modes in conservative systems; defined by outgoing-wave boundary conditions, they have complex eigenvalues. The conditions are studied for a system to have a supersymmetric(SUSY) partner with the same complex quasinormal-mode spectrum (or the same except for one eigenvalue). The discussion naturally includes total-transmission modes as well(incoming at one extreme and outgoing at the other). Several types of SUSY transformations emerge, and each is illustrated with examples, including the transformation among different Poschl-Teller potentials and the well-known identity in spectrum between the two parity sectors of linearized gravitational waves propagating on a Schwarzschild background. In contrast to the case of normal modes, there may be multiple essentially isospectral partners, each missing a different state. The SUSY transformation preserves orthonormality under a bilinear map which is the analog of the usual inner product for conservative systems. SUSY transformations can lead to doubled quasinormal and total-transmission modes; this phenomenon is analysed and illustrated. The existence or otherwise of SUSY partners is also relevant to the question of inversion: are open wave systems uniquely determined by their complex spectra?
We investigate in this work a recently proposed diagrammatic quantum Monte Carlo method --- the inchworm Monte Carlo method --- for open quantum systems. We establish its validity rigorously based on resummation of Dyson series. Moreover, we introduce an integro-differential equation formulation for open quantum systems, which illuminates the mathematical structure of the inchworm algorithm. This new formulation leads to an improvement of the inchworm algorithm by introducing classical deterministic time-integration schemes. The numerical method is validated by applications to the spin-boson model.
Dirac structures are geometric objects that generalize Poisson structures and presymplectic structures on manifolds. They naturally appear in the formulation of constrained mechanical systems and play an essential role in structuring a dynamical system through the energy flow between its subsystems and elements. In this paper, we show that the evolution equations for open thermodynamic systems, i.e., systems exchanging heat and matter with the exterior, admit an intrinsic formulation in terms of Dirac structures. We focus on simple systems, in which the thermodynamic state is described by a single entropy variable. A main difficulty compared to the case of closed systems lies in the explicit time dependence of the constraint associated to the entropy production. We overcome this issue by working with the geometric setting of time-dependent nonholonomic mechanics. We define three type of Dirac dynamical systems for the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open systems, based either on the generalized energy, the Lagrangian, or the Hamiltonian. The variational formulations associated to the Dirac systems formulations are also presented.
An approximate exponential quantum projection filtering scheme is developed for a class of open quantum systems described by Hudson- Parthasarathy quantum stochastic differential equations, aiming to reduce the computational burden associated with online calculation of the quantum filter. By using a differential geometric approach, the quantum trajectory is constrained in a finite-dimensional differentiable manifold consisting of an unnormalized exponential family of quantum density operators, and an exponential quantum projection filter is then formulated as a number of stochastic differential equations satisfied by the finite-dimensional coordinate system of this manifold. A convenient design of the differentiable manifold is also presented through reduction of the local approximation errors, which yields a simplification of the quantum projection filter equations. It is shown that the computational cost can be significantly reduced by using the quantum projection filter instead of the quantum filter. It is also shown that when the quantum projection filtering approach is applied to a class of open quantum systems that asymptotically converge to a pure state, the input-to-state stability of the corresponding exponential quantum projection filter can be established. Simulation results from an atomic ensemble system example are provided to illustrate the performance of the projection filtering scheme. It is expected that the proposed approach can be used in developing more efficient quantum control methods.
Pairs of SUSY partner Hamiltonians are studied which are interrelated by usual (linear) or polynomial supersymmetry. Assuming the model of one of the Hamiltonians as exactly solvable with known propagator, expressions for propagators of partner models are derived. The corresponding general results are applied to a particle in a box, the Harmonic oscillator and a free particle (i.e. to transparent potentials).
