We show how to use the input-output formalism compute the propagator for an open quantum system, i.e. quantum networks with a low dimensional quantum system coupled to one or more loss channels. The total propagator is expressed entirely in terms of the Greens functions of the low dimensional quantum system, and it is shown that these Greens functions can be computed entirely from the evolution of the low-dimensional system with an effective non-hermitian Hamiltonian. Our formalism generalizes the previous works that have focused on time independent Hamiltonians to systems with time dependent Hamiltonians, making it a suitable computational tool for the analysis of a number of experimentally interesting quantum systems. We illustrate our formalism by applying it to analyze photon emission and scattering from driven and undriven two-level system and three- level lambda system.

Understanding dynamics of localized quantum systems embedded in engineered bosonic environments is a central problem in quantum optics and open quantum system theory. We present a formalism for studying few-particle scattering from a localized quantu m system interacting with an bosonic bath described by an inhomogeneous wave-equation. In particular, we provide exact relationships between the quantum scattering matrix of this interacting system and frequency domain solutions of the inhomogeneous wave-equation thus providing access to the spatial distribution of the scattered few-particle wave-packet. The formalism developed in this paper paves the way to computationally understanding the impact of structured media on the scattering properties of localized quantum systems embedded in them without simplifying assumptions on the physics of the structured media.
We study the scattering of photons by a two-level system ultrastrongly coupled to a one-dimensional waveguide. Using a combination of the polaron transformation with scattering theory we can compute the one-photon scattering properties of the qubit f or a broad range of coupling strengths, estimating resonance frequencies, lineshapes and linewidths. We validate numerically and analytically the accuracy of this technique up to $alpha=0.3$, close to the Toulouse point $alpha=1/2$, where inelastic scattering becomes relevant. These methods model recent experiments with superconducting circuits [P. Forn-D{i}az et al., Nat. Phys. (2016)].
While quantum computing proposes promising solutions to computational problems not accessible with classical approaches, due to current hardware constraints, most quantum algorithms are not yet capable of computing systems of practical relevance, and classical counterparts outperform them. To practically benefit from quantum architecture, one has to identify problems and algorithms with favorable scaling and improve on corresponding limitations depending on available hardware. For this reason, we developed an algorithm that solves integer linear programming problems, a classically NP-hard problem, on a quantum annealer, and investigated problem and hardware-specific limitations. This work presents the formalism of how to map ILP problems to the annealing architectures, how to systematically improve computations utilizing optimized anneal schedules, and models the anneal process through a simulation. It illustrates the effects of decoherence and many body localization for the minimum dominating set problem, and compares annealing results against numerical simulations of the quantum architecture. We find that the algorithm outperforms random guessing but is limited to small problems and that annealing schedules can be adjusted to reduce the effects of decoherence. Simulations qualitatively reproduce algorithmic improvements of the modified annealing schedule, suggesting the improvements have origins from quantum effects.
We develop an approach to light-matter coupling in waveguide QED based upon scattering amplitudes evaluated via Dyson series. For optical states containing more than single photons, terms in this series become increasingly complex and we provide a di agrammatic recipe for their evaluation, which is capable of yielding analytic results. Our method fully specifies a combined emitter-optical state that permits investigation of light-matter entanglement generation protocols. We use our expressions to study two-photon scattering from a $Lambda$-system and find that the pole structure of the transition amplitude is dramatically altered as the two ground states are tuned from degeneracy.
Predicting features of complex, large-scale quantum systems is essential to the characterization and engineering of quantum architectures. We present an efficient approach for constructing an approximate classical description, called the classical sh adow, of a quantum system from very few quantum measurements that can later be used to predict a large collection of features. This approach is guaranteed to accurately predict M linear functions with bounded Hilbert-Schmidt norm from only order of log(M) measurements. This is completely independent of the system size and saturates fundamental lower bounds from information theory. We support our theoretical findings with numerical experiments over a wide range of problem sizes (2 to 162 qubits). These highlight advantages compared to existing machine learning approaches.
