Model realization and model reduction for quantum systems

Presented by Mohan Sarovar, SNL

In this talk I describe the application of two classic notions from linear systems theory to the quantum domain: (i) model realization, the notion of inferring a system's free parameters from input-output data, and (ii) model reduction, the notion of developing compressed descriptions of system dynamics. I will describe an algorithm for performing quantum Hamiltonian identification using model realization theory (arXiv:1401.5780) and present preliminary results on model reduction techniques for reducing the complexity of simulating some classes of quantum many-body dynamics.
