The study of open quantum systems lies at the intersection of mathematics, computer science, physics, chemistry, and quantum engineering. From a more mathematical point of view, it also naturally brings together several branches of mathematics, including functional analysis (operator algebra), probability (as open quantum systems are quantum analogs of stochastic processes), applied mathematics, and mathematical physics.
While the foundations of open quantum systems have been established since Lindblad’s pioneering works in the 1970s, they have remained a relatively niche area in mathematics and physics. The challenge of simulating open quantum systems, especially beyond the smallest scales, is largely attributed to the curse of dimensionality. However, recent advancements in quantum technology have created new opportunities to leverage open quantum systems in quantum computing.
The primary goal of this workshop is to address the recent surge of interest in the quantum simulation of open systems, encompassing topics such as Gibbs sampling, ground state preparation, simulation algorithms, error corrections, and non-Markovian effects. This workshop aims to bring together experts from multiple backgrounds working at the forefront of open quantum systems, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and create networking opportunities, particularly for young researchers.
