An adapted representation of quantum mechanics sheds new light on the relationship between quantum states and classical states. In this approach the space of quantum states splits into a product of the state space of classical mechanics and…
Computing the stochastic entropy production associated with the evolution of a stochastic dynamical system is a well-established problem. In a small number of cases such as the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, of which we give a complete…
We calculate the Ehrenfest-time dependence of the leading quantum correction to the spectral form factor of a ballistic chaotic cavity using periodic orbit theory. For the case of broken time-reversal symmetry, our result differs from that…
We recently derived a spin-mapping approach for treating the nonadiabatic dynamics of a two-level system in a classical environment [J. Chem. Phys. 151, 044119 (2019)] based on the well-known quantum equivalence between a two-level system…
The semiclassically scaled time-dependent multi-particle Schr\"odinger equation describes, inter alia, quantum dynamics of nuclei in a molecule. It poses the combined computational challenges of high oscillations and high dimensions. This…
The behaviour of classical mechanical systems is characterised by their phase portraits, the collections of their trajectories. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle precludes the existence of sharply defined trajectories, which is why…
We propose a new semi-discretization scheme to approximate nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, by exploiting the gradient flow structures with respect to the 2-Wasserstein metric. We discretize the underlying state by a finite graph and…
We consider the interaction dynamics of a classical oscillator and a quantum two-level system for different pure-dephasing Hamiltonians of the type $\widehat{H}(q,p)=H_C(q,p)\boldsymbol{1}+H_I(q,p)\widehat\sigma_z$. This type of systems…
Due to the exponential growth of the state space of coupled quantum systems it is not possible, in general, to numerically store the state of a very large number of quantum systems within a classical computer. We demonstrate a method for…
We analytically describe the decay to equilibrium of generic observables of a non-integrable system after a perturbation in the form of a random matrix. We further obtain an analytic form for the time-averaged fluctuations of an observable…
We present a semiclassical calculation of the generalized form factor which characterizes the fluctuations of matrix elements of the quantum operators in the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian of a chaotic system. Our approach is based on some…
We apply a numerical method based on multi-configurational Ehrenfest tra jectories, and demonstrate converged results for the Choi fidelity of an entangling quantum gate between two two-level systems interacting through a set of bosonic…
In previous works, we introduced a geometric route to define our Ehrenfest Statistical Dynamics (ESD) and we proved that, for a simple toy-model, the resulting ESD does not preserve purity. We now take a step further: we investigate…
In this paper the feasibility of funnel control techniques for the Fokker-Planck equation corresponding to a multi-dimensional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process on an unbounded spatial domain is explored. First, using weighted Lebesgue and Sobolev…
We propose a prescription to quantize classical monomials in terms of symmetric and ordered expansions of non-commuting operators of a bosonic theory. As a direct application of such quantization rules, we quantize a classically time…
We develop a new semiclassical approach, which starts with the density matrix given by the Euclidean time path integral with fixed coinciding endpoints, and proceed by identifying classical (minimal Euclidean action) path, to be referred to…
We study the GENERIC (General Equation for Non-Equilibrium Reversible Irreversible Coupling) formulation of the nonlinear Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation from the perspective of gradient flows along trajectories. After pulling back the…
A semiclassical Bohr-Sommerfeld approximation is derived for an N-particle, two-mode Bose-Hubbard system modeling a Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential. This semiclassical description is based on the `classical' dynamics of…
We introduce a simple ansatz for the wavefunction of a many-body system based on coupled forward and backward-propagating semiclassical trajectories. This method is primarily aimed at, but not limited to, treating nonequilibrium dynamics in…
We demonstrate a method which allows the stochastic modelling of quantum systems for which the generalised Fokker-Planck equation in the phase space contains derivatives of higher than second order. This generalises quantum stochastics far…
