Secular versus nonsecular Redfield dynamics and Fano coherences in incoherent excitation: An experimental proposal

Amro Dodin, Timur V. Tscherbul, Robert Alicki +2 more

Open quantum systems interacting with a thermal environment are formally treated by secular or nonsecular master equations, with the nonsecular equation predicting distinct dynamics with unobserved noise-induced Fano coherences. The authors propose an experimental test to examine the master-equation applicability and the existence of Fano coherences in an atomic system excited by an incoherent light.

Generation of C-NOT, SWAP, and C-Z Gates for Two Qubits Using Coherent and Incoherent Controls and Stochastic Optimization

Oleg Vasilevich Morzhin, Alexander Nikolaevich Pechen

Abstract In this work, we consider a general form of the dynamics of open quantum systems determined by the Gorini–Kossakowsky–Sudarchhan–Lindblad type master equation with simultaneous coherent and incoherent controls with three particular forms of the two-qubit Hamiltonians. Coherent control enters in the Hamiltonian and incoherent control enters in both the Hamiltonian and the superoperator of dissipation. For these systems, we analyze the control problems of generating two-qubit C-NOT, SWAP, and C-Z gates using with piecewise constant controls and stochastic optimization in the form of an adapted version of the dual annealing algorithm. In the numerical experiment, we analyze the minimal infidelity obtained by the dual annealing for various values of strength of the interaction between the system and the environment.

Partial secular Bloch-Redfield master equation for incoherent excitation of multilevel quantum systems

Timur V. Tscherbul, Paul Brumer

We present an efficient theoretical method for calculating the time evolution of the density matrix of a multilevel quantum system weakly interacting with incoherent light. The method combines the Bloch-Redfield theory with a partial secular approximation for one-photon coherences, resulting in a master equation that explicitly exposes the reliance on transition rates and the angles between transition dipole moments in the energy basis. The partial secular Bloch-Redfield master equation allows an unambiguous distinction between the regimes of quantum coherent vs. incoherent energy transfer under incoherent light illumination. The fully incoherent regime is characterized by orthogonal transition dipole moments in the energy basis, leading to a dynamical evolution governed by a coherence-free Pauli-type master equation. The coherent regime requires non-orthogonal transition dipole moments in the energy basis and leads to the generation of noise-induced quantum coherences and population-to-coherence couplings. As a first application, we consider the dynamics of excited state coherences arising under incoherent light excitation from a single ground state and observe population-to-coherence transfer and the formation of non-equilibrium quasisteady states in the regime of small excited state splitting. Analytical expressions derived earlier for the V-type system [T. V. Tscherbul and P. Brumer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 113601 (2014)] are found to provide a nearly quantitative description of multilevel excited-state populations and coherences in both the small- and large-molecule limits.
