典型的有限浴作为开放量子系统精确模拟的一种手段

Typical, finite baths as a means of exact simulation of open quantum systems

Luciano Silvestri, Kurt Jacobs, Vanja Dunjko, Maxim Olshanii

摘要:

目前有相当大的兴趣,准确地模拟马尔可夫主方程失败的开放系统的演变。示例包括时间相关和/或强阻尼的系统。现在已经设计了许多优雅的方法来做到这一点,但都使用由连续谐振子组成的浴槽。虽然这种浴缸显然适合于,例如,由于耦合到EM场的系统,因此不清楚它是否是通用多体系统的良好模型。在这里,我们探索一种不同的方法来精确模拟开放系统:使用有限的浴选择具有某些关键属性的热化多体系统。为了探索这种方法所需的数值资源,以近似一个开放的系统耦合到一个无限的浴缸,我们模拟了一个弱阻尼系统,并比较相关的马尔可夫主方程的演变。我们通过使用一个额外的平均程序获得了合理的精度的马尔可夫演化,并阐明了如何典型的浴产生正确的热稳态通过“本征态热化”的过程。

英文摘要:

There is presently considerable interest in accurately simulating the evolution of open systems for which Markovian master equations fail. Examples are systems that are time-dependent and/or strongly damped. A number of elegant methods have now been devised to do this, but all use a bath consisting of a continuum of harmonic oscillators. While this bath is clearly appropriate for, e.g., systems coupled to the EM field, it is not so clear that it is a good model for generic many-body systems. Here we explore a different approach to exactly simulating open-systems: using a finite bath chosen to have certain key properties of thermalizing many-body systems. To explore the numerical resources required by this method to approximate an open system coupled to an infinite bath, we simulate a weakly damped system and compare to the evolution given by the relevant Markovian master equation. We obtain the Markovian evolution with reasonable accuracy by using an additional averaging procedure, and elucidate how the typicality of the bath generates the correct thermal steady-state via the process of "eigenstate thermalization".
