Efficient Simulation of Strong System-Environment Interactions

Open access

Abstract

Multicomponent quantum systems in strong interaction with their environment are receiving increasing attention due to their importance in a variety of contexts, ranging from solid state quantum information processing to the quantum dynamics of biomolecular aggregates. Unfortunately, these systems are difficult to simulate as the system-bath interactions cannot be treated perturbatively and standard approaches are invalid or inefficient. Here we combine the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group with techniques from the theory of orthogonal polynomials to provide an efficient method for simulating open quantum systems, including spin-boson models and their generalizations to multicomponent systems.

  • Non-equilibrium exchanges between system and environment can influence the direction of energy transfer.

    “This and other non-equilibrium exchanges between system and environment can have considerable influence on the system dynamics [28-35], influence the direction of energy transfer [28] and may even lead to the generation of long-lived quantum coherence in the system [28, 36-38].”

  • Inclusion of significant coupling of electronic motion to long-lived vibrational modes is capable of explaining the long-lived coherences observed in ultrafast 2-D spectroscopy on photosynthetic complexes.

    “In the following we will show that the inclusion of significant coupling of electronic motion to long-lived vibrational modes [28, 34] are capable of explaining the observations [36, 37]”

  • Electronic coherence may emerge from transiently exciting robust, weakly dephasing vibrational coherences which then transfer back coherence to those exciton transitions that are well matched to the mode.

    “The physical picture presented here illustrates a key point: electronic coherence may emerge from transiently exciting robust, weakly dephasing vibrational coherences which then transfer back coherence to those exciton transitions that are well matched to the mode [28, 36, 37].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
