Abstract

We develop a framework to study the dynamics of a system under dynamical decoupling. We investigate several scenarios and assess the efficiency. We find that the efficiency critically depends on the spectral density of the bath and the envelope of the decoupling pulses.

Dynamical decoupling-induced renormalization of non-Markovian dynamics

Pochung Chen

In this work we develop a numerical framework to investigate the renormalization of the non-Markovian dynamics of an open quantum system to which dynamical decoupling is applied. We utilize a non-Markovian master equation of the spin-boson model. The effects of the decoupling pulses are then incorporated. A wide class of decoupling pulses can be described equally within this approach. We have performed a comprehensive investigation on the renormalized dynamics within various noise models, including the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise and the spin-boson model. The renormalized dynamics under bang-bang control and continuous dynamical decoupling are simulated. The condition for efficient decoupling is assessed for each scenario. Our results indicate that the renormalization of the non-Markovian dynamics critically depends on the spectral density of the environment and the envelope of the decoupling pulses. Consequently, it is difficult to have a simple universal condition that ensures the efficiency. The framework developed in this work provides a unified approach to investigate the efficiency of realistic decoupling pulses. It also opens an avenue to further optimize the decoupling via pulse shaping.

Dynamical decoupling efficiency versus quantum non-Markovianity

We investigate the relationship between non-Markovianity and the effectiveness of a dynamical decoupling (DD) protocol for qubits undergoing pure dephasing. We consider an exact model in which dephasing arises due to a bosonic environment with a spectral density of the Ohmic class. This is parametrized by an Ohmicity parameter by changing which we can model both Markovian and non-Markovian environments. Interestingly, we find that engineering a non-Markovian environment is detrimental to the efficiency of the DD scheme, leading to a worse coherence preservation. We show that each DD pulse reverses the flow of quantum information and, on this basis, we investigate the connection between DD efficiency and the reservoir spectral density. Finally, in the spirit of reservoir engineering, we investigate the optimum system-reservoir parameters for achieving maximum stationary coherences.

Dynamically emergent quantum thermodynamics: Non-Markovian Otto cycle

Irene Ada Picatoste, Alessandra Colla, Heinz‐Peter Breuer

Employing a recently developed approach to dynamically emergent quantum thermodynamics, we revisit the thermodynamic behavior of the quantum Otto cycle with a focus on memory effects and strong system-bath couplings. Our investigation is based on an exact treatment of non-Markovianity by means of an exact quantum master equation, modeling the dynamics through the Fano-Anderson model featuring a peaked environmental spectral density. By comparing the results to the standard Markovian case, we find that non-Markovian baths can induce work transfer to the system, and identify specific parameter regions which lead to enhanced work output and efficiency of the cycle. In particular, we demonstrate that these improvements arise when the cycle operates in a frequency interval which contains the peak of the spectral density. This can be understood from an analysis of the renormalized frequencies emerging through the system-bath couplings. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
