Quantum Simulation of Generic Many-Body Open System Dynamics Using Classical Noise

arXiv:1608.01317 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.140403

Abstract

We introduce a scheme for the quantum simulation of many-body decoherence based on the unitary evolution of a stochastic Hamiltonian. Modulating the strength of the interactions with stochastic processes, we show that the noise-averaged density matrix simulates an effectively open dynamics governed by -body Lindblad operators. Markovian dynamics can be accessed with white-noise fluctuations; non-Markovian dynamics requires colored noise. The time scale governing the fidelity decay under many-body decoherence is shown to scale as with the system size . Our proposal can be readily implemented in a variety of quantum platforms including optical lattices, superconducting circuits and trapped ions.
