We introduce a novel, model-independent method for the efficient simulation of low-entropy systems, whose dynamics can be accurately described with a limited number of states.
- Our method leverages the time-dependent variational principle to efficiently integrate the Lindblad master equation, dynamically identifying and modifying the low-rank basis over which we decompose the system's evolution.
- By dynamically adapting the dimension of this basis, and thus the rank of the density matrix, our method maintains optimal representation of the system state, offering a substantial computational advantage over existing adaptive low-rank schemes in terms of both computational time and memory requirements.
- We demonstrate the efficacy of our method through extensive benchmarks on a variety of model systems, with a particular emphasis on multi-qubit bosonic codes, a promising candidate for fault-tolerant quantum hardware.
