We study the reduced time-evolution of open quantum systems by combining quantum-information and statistical field theory. Inspired by prior work [EPL 102, 60001 (2013) and Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 050402 (2013)] we establish the explicit…
Given a choice of an ordered, orthonormal basis for a $D$-dimensional Hilbert space, one can define a discrete version of the Wigner function -- a quasi-probability distribution which represents any quantum state as a real, normalized…
In an isolated system, the time evolution of a given observable in the Heisenberg picture can be efficiently represented in Krylov space. In this representation, an initial operator becomes increasingly complex as time goes by, a feature…
The complexity of quantum evolutions can be understood by examining their dispersion in a chosen basis. Recent research has stressed the fact that the Krylov basis is particularly adept at minimizing this dispersion [V. Balasubramanian et…
