Dynamical Criticality of an Ising Chain in a Structured Reservoir

Hu-Ping Peng, Meng Xu

Non-Markovian environments with finite memory pose significant challenges for simulating open quantum many-body dynamics. Here, we employ the Lindblad-pseudomode approach to investigate a transverse-field Ising chain collectively coupled to a structured bosonic environment with a Lorentzian noise spectrum. The pseudomode representation enables an efficient treatment of strong system-bath coupling and non-Markovian memory effects. We show that the common environment induces effective long-range spin interactions, leading to bath-induced localization and enhanced ferromagnetic ordering beyond the behavior of the isolated chain. Our findings elucidate how structured environments can fundamentally alter many-body dynamics and demonstrate the utility of pseudomode methods for exploring strongly coupled open quantum systems beyond the Markovian regime.

Scalable Distributed Memory Implementation of the Quasi-Adiabatic Propagator Path Integral

Roman Ovcharenko, Xiangyu Xu, Benjamin Philipp Fingerhut

The accurate simulation of dissipative quantum dynamics subject to a non-Markovian environment poses persistent numerical challenges, in particular, for structured environments, where sharp mode resonances induce long-time system bath correlations. We present a scalable distributed memory implementation of the mask-assisted coarse graining of influence coefficients (MACGIC)-quasi-adiabatic propagator path integral (-QUAPI) method that exploits the memory resources of multiple compute nodes and mitigates the memory bottleneck of the method via a new premerging algorithm and a hash-based look-up (hMACGIC-QUAPI) while preserving numerical accuracy. The source code of the hMACGIC-QUAPI implementation is available in a publicly accessible Git repository under GPL license. The developed distributed memory implementation spreads the paths over the computing nodes by means of the MPI protocol, and efficient high level path management is achieved via the hash map-based implementation with constant access time. The efficiency of the implementation is demonstrated in large-scale dissipative quantum dynamics simulations that account for the coupling to a structured non-Markovian environment containing a sharp resonance, a setup for which convergence properties are investigated in depth. Broad applicability and the nonperturbative nature of the simulation method is illustrated via the tuning of the mode resonance frequency of the structured environment with respect to the characteristic system frequency. The simulations reveal a splitting of resonances due to a strong system–environment interaction and the emergence of sidebands due to multiexcitations of the bosonic mode that are not accounted for in perturbative approaches. The simulations demonstrate the versatility of the new hMACGIC-QUAPI method in the presence of strong non-Markovian system bath correlations.

Out-of-equilibrium structures in strongly interacting Rydberg gases with dissipation

Igor Lesanovsky, Juan P. Garrahan

The nonequilibrium dynamics of a gas of cold atoms in which Rydberg states are off-resonantly excited is studied in the presence of noise. The interplay between interaction and off-resonant excitation leads to an initial dynamics where aggregates of excited Rydberg atoms slowly nucleate and grow, eventually reaching long-lived metastable arrangements which then relax further on much longer time scales. This growth dynamics is governed by an effective Master equation which permits a transparent and largely analytical understanding of the underlying physics. By means of extensive numerical simulations we study the many-body dynamics and the correlations of the resulting nonequilibrium states in various dimensions. Our results provide insight into the dynamical richness of strongly interacting Rydberg gases in noisy environments, and highlight the usefulness of these kinds of systems for the exploration of soft-matter-type collective behavior.
