Simulating quantum systems is computationally expensive largely because of the amount of β€œstate” that must be propagated. Classical diffusion can be described efficiently by just two variables, x and p, whereas quantum state diffusion requires tracking a wavefunction with hundreds of complex degrees of freedom. This becomes especially challenging when studying long-timescale behavior, where the wavefunction must be large enough to represent the system across its entire configuration space.

In this talk, I will present a new approach to simulating quantum diffusion which makes use of a dynamic basis to greatly reduce the amount of state we must propagate. I show that with this approach we need only a single complex variable to describe the state of an open harmonic system.
