Effective Formalism for Open Quantum System Dynamics: Time-coarse-graining Approach
arXiv:1709.00591 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.97.012102
Abstract
We formulate an effective-description framework for the dynamics of open quantum systems by extending the time-coarse-graining formalism to open systems. Our coarse-graining procedure efficiently removes high-frequency processes which are responsible for coherences between lower- and upper-manifold states and are irrelevant when considering only low-energy dynamics. We investigate the regime of validity of the resulting coarse-grained master equation by applying it to multi-level atoms driven by far-detuned lasers. Except for such high-frequency coherences, we find good agreement between the exact and coarse-grained dynamics unless the driving lasers are too strong or the initial high-frequency coherences are sizable.
