Non-adiabatic linear response in open quantum systems (2501.08826v1)

Abstract: Adiabatic theorem and non-adiabatic corrections have been widely applied in modern quantum technology. Recently, non-adiabatic linear response theory has been developed to probe the many-body correlations in closed systems. In this work, we generalize the non-adiabatic linear response theory to open quantum many-body systems. We find that the linear deviation from steady states is memory-less, similar to the closed system. The linear response of observables while ramping the Hamiltonian is still related to the derivative of the retarded Green's function. However, as one ramps the dissipation, the corresponding coefficient is determined by a new high-order correlation function in the steady state. Our work gives a neat result and generalizes the tool of ramping dynamics to study the many-body correlations in open quantum systems.
