The dynamics of a closed quantum system, under a unitary time evolution $U$, is, obviously, linear. But, the reduced dynamics of an open quantum system $S$, interacting with an environment $E$, is not linear, in general. Dominy et al.…
A unique feature of hybrid dynamical systems (systems whose evolution is subject to both continuous- and discrete-time laws) is Zeno trajectories. Usually these trajectories are avoided as they can cause incorrect numerical results as the…
A general treatment of the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects is presented which is valid for an arbitrary system-environment model in the weak system-environment coupling regime. It is shown that the effective lifetime of a quantum state…
We develop an intuitive geometric picture of quantum states, define a particular state distance, and derive a quantum speed limit (QSL) for open systems. Our QSL is attainable because any initial state can be driven to a final state by the…
Dissipative preparation of a pure steady state usually involves a commutative action of a coherent and a dissipative dynamics on the target state. Namely, the target pure state is an eigenstate of both the coherent and dissipative parts of…
Adiabatic elimination methods allow the reduction of the space dimension needed to describe systems dynamics which exhibits separation of time scale. For open quantum system, it consists in eliminating the fast part assuming it has almost…
A quantum system will stay near its instantaneous ground state if the Hamiltonian that governs its evolution varies slowly enough. This quantum adiabatic behavior is the basis of a new class of algorithms for quantum computing. We test one…
