We study the exact solution of the Schrodinger equation for the dissipative dynamics of a qubit, achieved by means of Short Iterative Lanczos method (SIL), which allows us to describe the qubit and the bath dynamics from weak to strong coupling regimes. We focus on two different models of a qubit in contact with the external environment: the first is the Spin Boson Model (SBM), which gives a description of the qubit in terms of static tunnelling energy and a bias field. The second model describes an externally driven qubit, where both the bias field and the tunnelling rate are controlled by a time-dependent magnetic field obeying to a finite time protocol. We show that in the SBM case, our solution correctly describes the crossover from coherent to incoherent behavior of the magnetization, occurring at the Toulouse point. Furthermore, we show that the bath response dramatically changes during the system dynamics, going from non-resonant at small times to resonant behavior at long times. When the external driving field is present, for fixed values of the drive duration our results show that the bath can provide beneficial effects to the success of the protocol. We find evidence for a complex interplay between non-adiabaticity of the protocol due to the external drive and dissipation effects, which strongly depends on the detailed form of the qubit-bath interaction.

We describe the dynamics of a qubit interacting with a bosonic mode coupled to a zero-temperature bath in the deep strong coupling (DSC) regime. We provide an analytical solution for this open system dynamics in the off-resonance case of the qubit-mo de interaction. Collapses and revivals of parity chain populations and the oscillatory behavior of the mean photon number are predicted. At the same time, photon number wave packets, propagating back and forth along parity chains, become incoherently mixed. Finally, we investigate numerically the effect of detuning on the validity of the analytical solution.
In this paper we present a method to derive an exact master equation for a bosonic system coupled to a set of other bosonic systems, which plays the role of the reservoir, under the strong coupling regime, i.e., without resorting to either the rotati ng-wave or secular approximations. Working with phase-space distribution functions, we verify that the dynamics are separated in the evolution of its center, which follows classical mechanics, and its shape, which becomes distorted. This is the generalization of a result by Glauber, who stated that coherent states remain coherent under certain circumstances, specifically when the rotating-wave approximation and a zero-temperature reservoir are used. We show that the counter-rotating terms generate fluctuations that distort the vacuum state, much the same as thermal fluctuations.Finally, we discuss conditions for non-Markovian dynamics.
Weak values are traditionally obtained using a weak interaction between the measured system and a pointer state. It has, however, been pointed out that weak coupling can be replaced by a carefully tailored strong interaction. This paper provides a di rect comparison of two strong interaction-based approaches (strong interaction accompanied by either a suitably prepared pointer state or quantum erasure) and the traditional weak interaction-based method. Presented theoretical derivations explicitly prove analytical equivalence of these approaches which was subsequently certified by an experiment implemented on the platform of linear optics. We find that strong-interaction-based measurements are experimentally less demanding on this platform.
Master equations are a useful tool to describe the evolution of open quantum systems. In order to characterize the mathematical features and the physical origin of the dynamics, it is often useful to consider different kinds of master equations for t he same system. Here, we derive an exact connection between the time-local and the integro-differential descriptions, focusing on the class of commutative dynamics. The use of the damping-basis formalism allows us to devise a general procedure to go from one master equation to the other and vice-versa, by working with functions of time and their Laplace transforms only. We further analyze the Lindbladian form of the time-local and the integro-differential master equations, where we account for the appearance of different sets of Lindbladian operators. In addition, we investigate a Redfield-like approximation, that transforms the exact integro-differential equation into a time-local one by means of a coarse graining in time. Besides relating the structure of the resulting master equation to those associated with the exact dynamics, we study the effects of the approximation on Markovianity. In particular, we show that, against expectation, the coarse graining in time can possibly introduce memory effects, leading to a violation of a divisibility property of the dynamics.
We propose a numerical technique based on a combination of short-iterative Lanczos and exact diagonalization methods, suitable for simulating the time evolution of the reduced density matrix of a single qubit interacting with an environment. By choos ing a mode discretization method and a flexible bath states truncation scheme, we are able to include in the physical description multiple-excitation processes, beyond weak coupling and Markov approximations. We apply our technique to the simulation of three different model Hamiltonians, which are relevant in the field of adiabatic quantum computation. We compare our results with those obtained on the basis of the widely used Lindblad master equation, as well as with well-known exact and approximated approaches. We show that our method is able to recover the thermodynamic behavior of the qubit-bath system, beyond the Born-Markov approximation. Finally, we show that even in the case of the adiabatic quantum annealing of a single qubit the bath can be beneficial in reaching the reduced system ground state.
