In this paper we present a procedure to compute reducible invariant tori and their stable and unstable manifolds in stroboscopic Poincar\'e maps. The method has two steps. In the first step we compute, by means of a quadratically convergent…
New directions in research on master equations are showcased by example. Magnus expansions, time-varying rates, and pseudospectra are highlighted. Exact eigenvalues are found and contrasted with the large errors produced by standard…
We derive a Magnus expansion for a frequency chirped quantum two-level system. We obtain a time-independent effective Hamiltonian which generates a stroboscopic time evolution. At lowest order the according dynamics is identical to results…
