We discuss topology in dissipative quantum systems from the perspective of quantum trajectories. The latter emerge in the unraveling of Markovian quantum master equations and/or in continuous quantum measurements. Ensemble-averaging quantum trajectories at the occurrence of quantum jumps, i.e., the jumptimes, gives rise to a discrete, deterministic evolution which is highly sensitive to the presence of dark states. We show for a broad family of translation-invariant collapse models that the set of dark state-inducing Hamiltonians imposes a nontrivial topological structure on the space of Hamiltonians, which is also reflected by the corresponding jumptime dynamics. The topological character of the latter can then be observed, for instance, in the transport behavior, exposing an infinite hierarchy of topological phase transitions. We develop our theory for one- and two-dimensional two-band Hamiltonians, and show that the topological behavior is directly manifest for chiral, PT, or time reversal-symmetric Hamiltonians.

We propose an efficient numerical method to compute configuration averages of observables in disordered open quantum systems whose dynamics can be unraveled via stochastic trajectories. We prove that the optimal sampling of trajectories and disorder
configurations is simply achieved by considering one random disorder configuration for each individual trajectory. As a first application, we exploit the present method to the study the role of disorder on the physics of the driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard model in two different regimes: (i) for strong interactions, we explore the dissipative physics of fermionized bosons in disordered one-dimensional chains; (ii) for weak interactions, we investigate the role of on-site inhomogeneities on a first-order dissipative phase transition in a two-dimensional square lattice.
The spectral and dynamical properties of dissipative quantum systems, as modeled by a damped oscillator in the Fock space, are investigated from a topological point of view. Unlike a physical lattice system that is naturally under the open boundary c
ondition, the bounded-from-below nature of the Fock space offers a unique setting for understanding and verifying non-Hermitian skin modes under semi-infinity boundary conditions that are elusive in actual physical lattices. A topological characterization based on the complex spectra of the Liouvillian superoperator is proposed and the associated complete set of topologically protected skin modes can be identified, thus reflecting the complete bulk-boundary correspondence of point-gap topology generally absent in realistic materials. Moreover, we discover anomalous skin modes with exponential amplification even though the quantum system is purely dissipative. Our results indicate that current studies of non-Hermitian topological matter can greatly benefit research on quantum open systems and vice versa.
The interplay of Anderson localisation and decoherence results in intricate dynamics but is notoriously difficult to simulate on classical computers. We develop the framework for a quantum simulation of such an open quantum system making use of time-
varying randomised gradients, and show that even an implementation with limited experimental resources results in accurate simulations.
We introduce jumptime unraveling as a distinct method to analyze quantum jump trajectories and the associated open/continuously monitored quantum systems. In contrast to the standard unraveling of quantum master equations, where the stochastically ev
olving quantum trajectories are ensemble-averaged at specific times, we average quantum trajectories at specific jump counts. The resulting quantum state then follows a discrete, deterministic evolution equation, with time replaced by the jump count. We show that, for systems with finite-dimensional state space, this evolution equation represents a trace-preserving quantum dynamical map if and only if the underlying quantum master equation does not exhibit dark states. In the presence of dark states, on the other hand, the state may decay and/or the jumptime evolution eventually terminate entirely. We elaborate the operational protocol to observe jumptime-averaged quantum states, and we illustrate the jumptime evolution with the examples of a two-level system undergoing amplitude damping or dephasing, a damped harmonic oscillator, and a free particle exposed to collisional decoherence.
Describing current in open quantum systems can be problematic due to the subtle interplay of quantum coherence and environmental noise. Probing the noise-induced current can be detrimental to the tunneling-induced current and vice versa. We derive a
general theory for the probability current in quantum systems arbitrarily interacting with their environment that overcomes this difficulty. We show that the current can be experimentally measured by performing a sequence of weak and standard quantum measurements. We exemplify our theory by analyzing a simple Smoluchowski-Feynman-type ratchet consisting of two particles, operating deep in the quantum regime. Fully incorporating both thermal and quantum effects, the current generated in the model can be used to detect the onset of genuine quantumness in the form of quantum contextuality. The model can also be used to generate steady-state entanglement in the presence of arbitrarily hot environment.
