Non-Markovian open quantum dynamics in squeezed environments: coherent state unraveling

ORAL

Abstract

We apply the stochastic Schr ̈odinger equation approach to study the non-Markovian dynamics of quantum systems coupled to a squeezed environment. We derive the non-Markovian quantum-state-diffusion equation using coherent-state-unraveling and the associated zeroth order master equation for general models in a microscopic quantum context. Focused on a dissipative optical cavity coupled with a squeezed vacuum, the numerical simulations demonstrate the time evolution of photon numbers in an optical cavity. We observe that the long-time limits of the non-Markovian dynamics are significantly different from those of the Markovian dynamics for various memory factors and squeezing factors. Additionally, non-Markovian dynamics exhibit a distinct pattern of behavior when parameters change. Our work provides a method to study the impact of multiple parameters on the non-Markovian dynamics and long-time limits jointly. The method can be further extended to finite-temperature environments.
