Abstract
Broadly, this work explores dimensionality reduction methods for open quantum systems. As networks of quantum systems become more complex, there is a greater need for tools to simulate them efficiently. I will focus on open linear quantum systems with coherent time-delayed feedback. This work will show how the transfer function formalism can be used to construct physically realizable reduced systems which approximate the correct input-output relation for this class of systems, providing an appropriate basis for simulations. Towards this goal, I will show how the transfer function can be decomposed into a (possibly infinite) cascade of canonical terms, each corresponding to a single degree of freedom, or a single mode of the system. We will do this first for passive systems, and then for active systems, requiring a more general representation. I will present a theorem that specifies conditions for the convergence of the cascade. Truncating this cascade results in the desired approximate model. I will discuss some examples where this approach can be useful, such as networks with degenerate parametric amplifiers that exhibit enhanced squeezing properties once time-delayed feedback is introduced.
