Abstract

We derive damping equations of motion for interacting two-spin states from a spin-boson model in order to examine qubit dynamics in quantum computers. On the basis of the composite operator method, we develop the Caldeira-Leggett approach for open quantum systems so that the entanglement dynamics originated from the two-spin correlation can be taken. We demonstrate numerical results for time dependence on the two-spin dynamics. We find that the relaxation of the total spin is described by a quantum version of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for magnetic materials. We also find that a two-spin composite mode keeps oscillation even after the total spin has been fully relaxed. We thus conclude that the two-spin correlation due to the presence of the composite mode is stable against dissipation. We consider the mechanism of why the correlation is maintained.

A solvable dissipative Jaynes–Cummings model with initial correlation

Sachiko Kitajima, Masashi Ban, Fumiaki Shibata

Dissipative properties of a composite system interacting with an environment are studied in order to obtain insight into relaxation and decoherence phenomena. As a typical system with internal degree of freedom, a Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model is considered where a spin (qubit) interacts with a single bosonic mode. When the whole system is initially in a state of at most single excitation, the model becomes solvable for excitation number conserving Hamiltonians, even if the JC system interacts with its environment composed of harmonic oscillators. Effects of initial correlations between the system and the environment are also taken into account. Basic equations for the density matrix are solved exactly to determine dynamics of the reduced systems. Mutually related problems of initial correlations, entanglement and non-Markovian property are studied explicitly by examining the time evolution of the reduced density matrices, the concurrence and the trace distance.

From Quantum to Classical Dissipative Spin Dynamics

Alireza Ataei, Leila Ataei, Olle Eriksson +1 more

The Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation provides the fundamental description of dissipative magnetization dynamics. A recently proposed quantum analog, the quantum Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (QLLG) equation, extends this framework to quantum spin systems. However, whether the QLLG equation recovers the LLG equation in the classical large-spin limit for interacting spin systems remains an open question. Here, we demonstrate this connection by deriving the LLG equation as the classical large-spin limit of the QLLG equation. We establish this correspondence analytically and verify it numerically for an interacting spin system. These results provide a quantum-to-classical description of dissipative spin dynamics, offering a microscopic foundation for the LLG equation. From numerical calculations provided here, we also conclude that quantum effects become much less noticeable for systems with larger number of spins in the Hamiltonian.

From the open generalized Heisenberg model to the Landau–Lifshitz equation

Ariel Norambuena, Andrés Franco, Raúl Coto

Abstract Magnetic systems can be described by the classical Landau–Lifshitz (LL) equation or the fully quantum open generalized Heisenberg model. Using the Lindblad master equation and the mean-field approximation, we demonstrate that the open generalized Heisenberg model is reduced to a generalized LL equation. The open dynamic is modeled using spin-boson interactions with a common bosonic reservoir at thermal equilibrium. By tracing out the bosonic degrees of freedom, we obtain two different decoherence mechanisms: on-site dissipation and an effective spin–spin interaction mediated by bosons. Using our approach, we perform hysteresis calculations, closely connected with the Stoner–Wohlfarth theory. We compare the exact numerical master equation and the mean-field model, revealing the role of correlations originated by non-local interactions. Our work opens new horizons for the study of the LL dynamics from an open quantum formalism.

Quantum spin dynamics

Robert Wieser

The classical Landau-Lifshitz equation has been derived from quantum mechanics. Starting point is the assumption of a non-Hermitian Hamilton operator to take the energy dissipation into account. The corresponding quantum mechanical time dependent Schrödinger, Liouville and Heisenberg equation have been described and the similarities and differences between classical and quantum mechanical spin dynamics have been discussed. Furthermore, a time dependent Schrödinger equation corresponding to the classical Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation and two ways to include temperature into the quantum mechanical spin dynamics have been proposed.

Quantum simulation of spin-boson models with structured bath

Ke Sun, Mingyu Kang, Hanggai Nuomin +4 more

Abstract The spin-boson model, involving spins interacting with a bath of quantum harmonic oscillators, is a widely used representation of open quantum systems that describe many dissipative processes in physical, chemical and biological systems. Trapped ions present an ideal platform for simulating the quantum dynamics of such models, by accessing both the high-quality internal qubit states and the motional modes of the ions for spins and bosons, respectively. We demonstrate a fully programmable method to simulate dissipative dynamics of spin-boson models using a chain of trapped ions, where the initial temperature and the spectral densities of the boson bath are engineered by controlling the state of the motional modes and their coupling with qubit states. Our method provides a versatile and precise experimental tool for studying open quantum systems.

Ground-state preparation via nonlinear quantum dissipation

Alireza Ataei, Olle Eriksson, Vahid Azimi Mousolou

Ground-state preparation of quantum many-body systems is a fundamental challenge across quantum science, with implications for quantum simulation, quantum computing, and the study of complex quantum matter. The exponential growth of Hilbert space and the complexity of entangled eigenstates motivate the development of new approaches that go beyond conventional strategies based on adiabatic evolution, variational optimization, imaginary-time methods, and engineered dissipative processes. Here, we demonstrate that the recently proposed quantum Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (QLLG) dynamics [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 133}, 266704 (2024)] provides an intrinsic nonlinear dissipative mechanism for real-time ground-state preparation. Unlike engineered dissipative schemes, QLLG encodes relaxation directly into the quantum equation of motion while preserving the underlying quantum structure of the evolution. The QLLG evolution selectively suppresses excited-state contributions, driving the system toward the lowest-energy eigenstate within the accessible symmetry sector. We show that the dynamics admits a monotonic energy functional and a stable ground-state fixed point, and that for generic initial states in an $N$-qubit Hilbert space the characteristic convergence time scales linearly with $N$ and inversely with the spectral gap. Numerical simulations of an interacting spin chain confirm our analytical predictions. These results establish nonlinear dissipative QLLG dynamics as a new avenue for quantum state preparation, opening a new route for quantum simulation, computation, and state engineering.
