Accurate and efficient simulation on quantum dissipation with nonlinear environment couplings remains nowadays a challenging task. In this work, we propose to incorporate the stochastic fields, which resolve just the nonlinear environment coupling terms, into the dissipaton-equation-of-motion (DEOM) construction. The stochastic fields are introduced via the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation. After the transformation, the resulted stochastic-fields-dressed total Hamiltonian contains only linear environment coupling terms. On basis of that, a stochastic-fields-dressed DEOM (SFD-DEOM) can then be constructed. The resultant SFD-DEOM, together with the ensemble average over the stochastic fields, constitutes an exact and nonperturbative approach to quantum dissipation under nonlinear environment couplings. It is also of relatively high efficiency and stability due to the fact that only nonlinear environment coupling terms are dealt with stochastic fields while linear couplings are still treated as the usual DEOM. Numerical demonstrations are carried out on a two-state model system.

We derive a hierarchy of matrix product states (HOMPS) method which is numerically exact and efficient for general non-Markovian dynamics in open quantum system. This HOMPS is trying to attack the exponential wall issue in the recently developed hier archy of pure states (HOPS) scheme with two steps: a. finding an effective time-dependent Schrodinger equation which is equivalent to HOPS, b. propagating this equation within matrix product states/operators (MPS/MPO) representation. HOMPS works in linear form and takes into account finite temperature effect straightforwardly from the initial pure state. Applications of HOMPS to spin-boson model covering both high and low temperatures are provided, demonstrating the validity and efficiency of the new approach.
We study the open system dynamics of a heavy quark in the quark-gluon plasma using a Lindblad master equation. Applying the quantum state diffusion approach by Gisin and Percival, we derive and numerically solve a nonlinear stochastic Schrodinger equ ation for wave functions, which is equivalent to the Lindblad master equation for the density matrix. From our numerical analysis in one spatial dimension, it is shown that the density matrix relaxes to the Boltzmann distribution in various setups (with and without external potentials), independently of the initial conditions. We also confirm that quantum dissipation plays an essential role not only in the long-time behavior of the heavy quark but also at early times if the heavy quark initial state is localized and quantum decoherence is ineffective.
Dissipaton-equation-of-motion (DEOM) theory [Y. J. Yan, J. Chem. Phys. 140, 054105 (2014)] is an exact and nonperturbative many-particle method for open quantum systems. The existing dissipaton algebra treats also the dynamics of hybrid bath solvatio n coordinates. The dynamics of conjugate momentums remain to be addressed within the DEOM framework. In this work, we establish this missing ingredient, the dissipaton algebra on solvation momentums, with rigorous validations against necessary and sufficient criteria. The resulted phase-space DEOM theory will serve as a solid ground for further developments of various practical methods toward a broad range of applications. We illustrate this novel dissipaton algebra with the phase-space DEOM-evaluation on heat current fluctuation.
We show that the stochastic Schrodinger equation (SSE) provides an ideal way to simulate the quantum mechanical spin dynamics of radical pairs. Electron spin relaxation effects arising from fluctuations in the spin Hamiltonian are straightforward to include in this approach, and their treatment can be combined with a highly efficient stochastic evaluation of the trace over nuclear spin states that is required to compute experimental observables. These features are illustrated in example applications to a flavin-tryptophan radical pair of interest in avian magnetoreception, and to a problem involving spin-selective radical pair recombination along a molecular wire. In the first of these examples, the SSE is shown to be both more efficient and more widely applicable than a recent stochastic implementation of the Lindblad equation, which only provides a valid treatment of relaxation in the extreme-narrowing limit. In the second, the exact SSE results are used to assess the accuracy of a recently-proposed combination of Nakajima-Zwanzig theory for the spin relaxation and Schulten-Wolynes theory for the spin dynamics, which is applicable to radical pairs with many more nuclear spins. An appendix analyses the efficiency of trace sampling in some detail, highlighting the particular advantages of sampling with SU(N) coherent states.
We show that a nonlinear Schrodinger wave equation can reproduce all the features of linear quantum mechanics. This nonlinear wave equation is obtained by exploring, in a uniform language, the transition from fully classical theory governed by a nonl inear classical wave equation to quantum theory. The classical wave equation includes a nonlinear classicality enforcing potential which when eliminated transforms the wave equation into the linear Schrodinger equation. We show that it is not necessary to completely cancel this nonlinearity to recover the linear behavior of quantum mechanics. Scaling the classicality enforcing potential is sufficient to have quantum-like features appear and is equivalent to scaling Plancks constant.
