Time-dependent dynamical properties of a fluid can not be estimated from a single configuration without performing a simulation. Here we show, however, that the scaling properties of both structure and dynamics can be predicted from a…

We propose a strategy to modulate the decoherence dynamics of a two-level system, which interacts with a dissipative bosonic environment, by introducing an assisted degree of freedom. It is revealed that the decay rate of the two-level…
