We derive a quantum master equation to treat quantum systems interacting with multiple reservoirs. The formalism is used to investigate atomic transport across a variety of lattice configurations. We demonstrate how the behavior of an electronic diode, a field-effect transistor, and a bipolar junction transistor can be realized with neutral, ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices. An analysis of the current fluctuations is provided for the case of the atomtronic diode. Finally, we show that it is possible to demonstrate AND logic gate behavior in an optical lattice.

Perturbation theory (PT) is a powerful and commonly used tool in the investigation of closed quantum systems. In the context of open quantum systems, PT based on the Markovian quantum master equation is much less developed. The investigation of open systems mostly relies on exact diagonalization of the Liouville superoperator or quantum trajectories. In this approach, the system size is rather limited by current computational capabilities. Analogous to closed-system PT, we develop a PT suitable for open quantum systems. This proposed method is useful in the analytical understanding of open systems as well as in the numerical calculation of system properties, which would otherwise be impractical.
Atomtronics is an emerging field in quantum technology that promises to realize atomic circuit architectures exploiting ultra-cold atoms manipulated in versatile micro-optical circuits generated by laser fields of different shapes and intensities or micro-magnetic circuits known as atom chips. Although devising new applications for computation and information transfer is a defining goal of the field, Atomtronics wants to enlarge the scope of quantum simulators and to access new physical regimes with novel fundamental science. With this focus issue we want to survey the state of the art of Atomtronics-enabled Quantum Technology. We collect articles on both conceptual and applicative aspects of the field for diverse exploitations, both to extend the scope of the existing atom-based quantum devices and to devise platforms for new routes to quantum technology.
For a Markovian open quantum system it is possible, by continuously monitoring the environment, to know the stochastically evolving pure state of the system without altering the master equation. In general, even for a system with a finite Hilbert spa ce dimension $D$, the pure state trajectory will explore an infinite number of points in Hilbert space, meaning that the dimension $K$ of the classical memory required for the tracking is infinite. However, Karasik and Wiseman [Phys. Rev. Lett., 106(2):020406, 2011] showed that tracking of a qubit ($D=2$) is always possible with a bit ($K=2$), and gave a heuristic argument implying that a finite $K$ should be sufficient for any $D$, although beyond $D=2$ it would be necessary to have $K>D$. Our paper is concerned with rigorously investigating the relationship between $D$ and $K_{rm min}$, the smallest feasible $K$. We confirm the long-standing conjecture of Karasik and Wiseman that, for generic systems with $D>2$, $K_{rm min}>D$, by a computational proof (via Hilbert Nullstellensatz certificates of infeasibility). That is, beyond $D=2$, $D$-dimensional open quantum systems are provably harder to track than $D$-dimensional open classical systems. Moreover, we develop, and better justify, a new heuristic to guide our expectation of $K_{rm min}$ as a function of $D$, taking into account the number $L$ of Lindblad operators as well as symmetries in the problem. The use of invariant subspace and Wigner symmetries makes it tractable to conduct a numerical search, using the method of polynomial homotopy continuation, to find finite physically realizable ensembles (as they are known) in $D=3$. The results of this search support our heuristic. We thus have confidence in the most interesting feature of our heuristic: in the absence of symmetries, $K_{rm min} sim D^2$, implying a quadratic gap between the classical and quantum tracking problems.

The underlying probabilistic theory for quantum mechanics is non-Kolmogorovian. The order in which physical observables will be important if they are incompatible (non-commuting). In particular, the notion of conditioning needs to be handled with car e and may not even exist in some cases. Here we layout the quantum probabilistic formulation in terms of von Neumann algebras, and outline conditions (non-demolition properties) under which filtering may occur.
By using the effective Hamiltonian approach, we present a self-consistent framework for the analysis of geometric phases and dynamically stable decoherence-free subspaces in open systems. Comparisons to the earlier works are made. This effective Hami ltonian approach is then extended to a non-Markovian case with the generalized Lindblad master equation. Based on this extended effective Hamiltonian approach, the non-Markovian master equation describing a dissipative two-level system is solved, an adiabatic evolution is defined and the corresponding adiabatic condition is given.
