用数学方法精准刻画量子系统随时间变化的非马尔可夫行为。

Characterizing non-Markovian quantum dynamics is essential for accurately modeling open quantum systems, particularly in near-term quantum technologies. In this work, we develop a structure-preserving approach to characterizing non-Markovian evolution using the time-convolutionless (TCL) master equation, considering both linear and nonlinear formulations. To parameterize the master equation, we explore two distinct techniques: the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) expansion, which provides an optimal basis representation of the dynamics, and neural networks, which offer a data-driven approach to learning system-environment interactions. We demonstrate our methodology using experimental data from a superconducting qubit at the Quantum Device Integration Testbed (QuDIT) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Our results show that while neural networks can capture complex dependencies, the KL expansion yields the most accurate predictions of the qubit's non-Markovian dynamics, highlighting its effectiveness in structure-preserving quantum system characterization. These findings provide valuable insights into efficient modeling strategies for open quantum systems, with implications for quantum control and error mitigation in near-term quantum processors.
