内容：
Open quantum dynamics describes the time evolution of a system interacting with an environment and has important applications in physical chemistry, materials science, applied physics, etc. Despite its importance, there are relatively few developments of quantum algorithms for simulating open quantum dynamics, and a main challenge is to design a general quantum algorithm for physical models beyond the 2-level system and Markovian systems. To this end, we present such a general quantum algorithm based on the mathematical theory of unitary dilation. Initially demonstrated with a 2-level Markovian system (Scientific Reports, 10, 3301, (2020)), this algorithm was then applied to a non-Markovian system (Physical Review Research 3, 013182, (2021)) – both simulations were implemented on the IBM quantum computers. Recently, this quantum algorithm was generalized to simulating the dynamics of the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex on the IBM quantum simulator (Quantum 6, 726, (2022)), which is so far as we know the first successful application of a quantum algorithm on such a complex biological system. We discuss the complexity of the quantum algorithm relative to the classical method for the same purpose, presenting a decisive query complexity advantage of the quantum approach based on the unique property of quantum measurement.
