Pure state vs. density matrix approaches for non-Markovian open quantum systems — •Pan-Pan Zhang1, Daniel Suess1, Walter T. Strunz2, and Alexander Eisfeld1 — 1MPIPKS Dresden — 2TU Dresden
To efficiently treat non-Markovian open quantum systems is a challenging task. One often used approach, denoted as HEOM [1], is using a hierarchy of coupled operator equations.
In this contribution we compare the recently developed hierarchy of pure states (HOPS) [2], which is a stochastic method, with the corresponding hierarchy of operators. We find in particular that in general HOPS requires much less numerical resources than HEOM.
