A quantum algorithm for evolving open quantum dynamics on quantum computing devices

Abstract Designing quantum algorithms for simulating quantum systems has seen enormous progress, yet few studies have been done to develop quantum algorithms for open quantum dynamics despite its importance in modeling the system-environment interaction found in most realistic physical models. In th...
