A purified input-output pseudomode model for structured open quantum systems

Abstract: A full understanding of open quantum systems requires the characterization of both system and environmental properties. However, the complexity of the environmental statistics in the presence of strong system-bath hybridization and long memory effects usually prevents effective non-perturbative methods from going beyond the analysis of the reduced system dynamics. Here we present a model consisting of purified auxiliary bosonic modes to describe, alongside properties of the system, the dynamics of environmental observables for bosonic baths prepared in non-Gaussian initial states. We numerically exemplify this method by simulating non-Markovian multi-photon transfer processes on a coupled cavity waveguide system in the large time delay regime.
