After a brief review of stochastic limit approximation with spin-boson system from physical points of view, amplification phenomenon-stochastic resonance phenomenon-in driven spin-boson system is observed which is helped by the quantum white noise introduced through the stochastic limit approximation. The shift in frequency of the system due to the interaction with the environment-Lamb shift-has an important role in these phenomena.
We prove a limit theorem for quantum stochastic differential equations with unbounded coefficients which extends the Trotter-Kato theorem for contraction semigroups. From this theorem, general results on the convergence of approximations and singular
perturbations are obtained. The results are illustrated in several examples of physical interest.
We present a stochastic thermodynamics analysis of an electron-spin-resonance pumped quantum dot device in the Coulomb-blocked regime, where a pure spin current is generated without an accompanying net charge current. Based on a generalized quantum m
aster equation beyond secular approximation, quantum coherences are accounted for in terms of an effective average spin in the Floquet basis. Elegantly, this effective spin undergoes a precession about an effective magnetic field, which originates from the non-secular treatment and energy renormalization. It is shown that the interaction between effective spin and effective magnetic field may have the dominant roles to play in both energy transport and irreversible entropy production. In the stationary limit, the energy and entropy balance relations are also established based on the theory of counting statistics.
Starting point is a given semigroup of completely positive maps on the 2 times 2 matrices. This semigroup describes the irreversible evolution of a decaying 2-level atom. Using the integral-sum kernel approach to quantum stochastic calculus we couple
the 2-level atom to an environment, which in our case will be interpreted as the electromagnetic field. The irreversible time evolution of the 2-level atom then stems from the reversible time evolution of atom and field together. Mathematically speaking, we have constructed a Markov dilation of the semigroup. The next step is to drive the atom by a laser and to count the photons emitted into the field by the decaying 2-level atom. For every possible sequence of photon counts we construct a map that gives the time evolution of the 2-level atom inferred by that sequence. The family of maps that we obtain in this way forms a so-called Davies process. In his book Davies describes the structure of these processes, which brings us into the field of quantum trajectories. Within our model we calculate the jump operators and we briefly describe the resulting counting process.
The Quantum Fisher Information (QFI) is a central metric in promising algorithms, such as Quantum Natural Gradient Descent and Variational Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution. Computing the full QFI matrix for a model with $d$ parameters, however, is co
mputationally expensive and generally requires $mathcal{O}(d^2)$ function evaluations. To remedy these increasing costs in high-dimensional parameter spaces, we propose using simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation techniques to approximate the QFI at a constant cost. We present the resulting algorithm and successfully apply it to prepare Hamiltonian ground states and train Variational Quantum Boltzmann Machines.
In this paper we study quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDEs) that are driven by strongly squeezed vacuum noise. We show that for strong squeezing such a QSDE can be approximated (via a limit in the strong sense) by a QSDE that is driven b
y a single commuting noise process. We find that the approximation has an additional Hamiltonian term.
