Quantum trajectories for nonlinear optical processes

Peter Goetsch, Robert Graham

Abstract The stochastic Schrödinger equation, a novel method for describing the dissipative dynamics of open quantum systems interacting with their environment, is applied to some nonlinear optical processes, namely nonlinear absorption and second‐harmonic generation, the latter also in the range of instabilities and classical chaotic behaviour. Where possible the results are compared with numerical simulations of the positive P representation, which in some cases are found to give unreliable results.

Trajectree - A quantum trajectory-based quantum circuit simulator

Ansh Singal, Allen Zang, Jordan Thomas +5 more

We introduce Trajectree, a quantum trajectory-based quantum circuit simulator that uses a novel, state-saving partial execution of the quantum circuits to simulate broad and deep noisy quantum circuits efficiently. Trajectree can efficiently generate a large number of Monte Carlo samples by saving partially executed trajectories. We conduct extensive performance analysis of the Trajectree approach, proving the utility of the trajectory saving scheme for simulations of open quantum systems. Using this architecture, we show that Trajectree can simulate standard benchmark noisy circuits over five times faster than Google's QSim, a part of the Cirq package. We also analyze Trajectree's performance for simulating quantum optical systems relevant to communication and computing applications. We demonstrate applications of the optical backend to simulate three optical experiments: CHSH Bell test, entanglement swapping, and optical CNOT gate. This shows Trajectree's potential for simulating noisy qudit and optical systems efficiently.

Quantum trajectories and classical attractors in second-harmonic generation

Xiping Zheng, Craig M. Savage

We numerically investigate the classical limit of quantum trajectories in optical second-harmonic generation. This is a dissipative system of two nonlinearly coupled harmonic oscillators, corresponding to the fundamental and second-harmonic optical cavity modes. Classically it is described by a system of nonlinear differential equations which have a range of attractors: fixed points, limit cycles, and chaotic attractors. We consider the field-amplitude mean values corresponding to the quantum trajectory wave functions. We find that in the classical limit of large photon number the trajectories of these mean values approach the corresponding classical attractors. This is because the mean values of operator products factorize into products of mean values in the classical limit.
