  \begin{block}{Premise}
    \begin{itemize}
    \item application of thermodynamic notions to strongly coupled and
      non-Markovian open quantum systems is non-trivial
      (\cite{Rivas2019Oct,Kato2016Dec,Strasberg2021Aug,Talkner2020Oct} and many
      more)
    \item dynamics of bath and interaction Hamiltonians plays an
      important role \(\rightarrow\) must not be neglected in the
      strong coupling regime
    \item the ``Hierarchy of Pure States''
      (HOPS~\cite{Hartmann2017Dec,Diosi1998Mar}) gives the us ability to
      simulate open quantum systems \textbf{exactly}
    \item because HOPS simulates global dynamics \(\rightarrow\) \textbf{gives
      access to certain bath dynamics with no additional effort}
    \end{itemize}
  \end{block}
  \begin{block}{NMQSD/HOPS}
    \begin{itemize}
    \item consider the model of a general quantum system (\(H_\sys(t)\))
    coupled to \(N\) baths
    \begin{equation}
      \label{eq:generalmodel}
      H(t) = H_\sys(t) + ∑_{n=1}^N \qty[L_n^†(t)B_n + \hc] + ∑_{n=1}^NH_B\nth ,
    \end{equation}
    with \(B_n=∑_{λ} g_λ\nth a_λ\nth\) and
    \(H_B\nth=∑_λω_λ\nth \qty(b_λ\nth)^\dag b_λ\nth\)

    \item leads to \emph{stochastic} Non-Markovian
    Quantum State Diffusion (NMQSD)
    \begin{equation}
      \label{eq:nmqsd}
      ∂_tψ_t(\vb{η}^\ast_t) = -\iu H(t) ψ_t(\vb{η}^\ast_t) +
      \vb{L}\cdot \vb{η}^\ast_tψ_t(\vb{η}^\ast_t) - ∑_{n=1}^N L(t)_n^†∫_0^t\dd{s}α_n(t-s)\fdv{ψ_t(\vb{η}^\ast_t)}{η^\ast_n(s)}
    \end{equation}
    \item the reduced state of the system is recovered through
      \(ρ=\mathcal{M}(ψ_t(\vb{η}^\ast_t)ψ_t^\dag(\vb{η}^\ast_t))\)

    \item with \(α_n(τ)=∑_{\mu}^{M_n}G_μ\nth\eu^{-W_μ\nth τ}\)
      we find for the hierarchy state \(\ket{Ψ}\in \hilb\otimes\mathcal{F}\)
    \begin{equation}
      \label{eq:fockhops}
      \begin{aligned}
        ∂_t\ket{Ψ} &= \qty[
                     \begin{aligned}
                       -\iu H_\sys + \vb{L}\cdot\vb{η}^\ast &-
                                                              ∑_{n=1}^N∑_{μ=1}^{M_n}b_{n,μ}^\dag b_{n,μ} W\nth_μ \\
                                                            &\qquad+
                                                              \iu ∑_{n=1}^N∑_{μ=1}^{M_n} \sqrt{G_{n,μ}} \qty(b^†_{n,μ}L_n +
                                                              b_{n,μ}L^†_n)
                     \end{aligned}
                     ] \ket{Ψ}.
      \end{aligned}
    \end{equation}
    \item truncating hierarchy depth \(\kmat\) in \cref{eq:fockhops}
      yields numeric method

    \item finite temperature \(\rightarrow\) substitute
    \(B(t)\rightarrow B(t)+ξ(t)\)
    \item \(\exists\) nonlinear method which improves convergence drastically
    \end{itemize}

    See~\cite{Hartmann2017Dec} for details.
  \end{block}

  \begin{alertblock}{Bath Observables}
    \begin{itemize}
    \item \cref{eq:nmqsd,eq:fockhops} \(\implies\) correspondence
      \(B^n(t) \leftrightarrow ψ^\kmat\) {\tiny(\(\abs{\kmat}=n\))}

    \item can calulate observables of type
    \(O_\sys\otimes (B^a)^\dag B^b\) + time derivatives
    \end{itemize}

    We consider the zero temperature case with one bath in the linear
    method.

    \begin{description}
    \item[Bath Energy Flow]
      \begin{equation}
        \label{eq:heatflowdef}
        \begin{aligned}
          J &= - \dv{\ev{H_\bath}}{t}  = \ev{L(t)^†∂_t B(t) + L(t)∂_t
              B^†(t)}_\inter \\
            &=-\i \mathcal{M}_{η^\ast}\bra{\psi(η,
              t)}L(t)^†\dot{D}_t\ket{\psi(η^\ast,t)} + \cc\\
            &= - ∑_\mu\sqrt{G_\mu}W_\mu
              \mathcal{M}_{η^\ast}\bra{\psi^{(0)}(η,t)}L(t)^†\ket{\psi^{\vb{e}_\mu}(η^\ast,t)} + \cc
        \end{aligned}
      \end{equation}
      The expectation value of bath energy flow is connected to the first
      level hierarchy states.
    \item[Interaction Energy]
      A similar expression exists for the expectation value of the
        interaction energy.
      \begin{equation}
        \label{eq:intexp}
        \begin{aligned}
          \ev{H_\inter} &=-\i \mathcal{M}_{η^\ast}\bra{\psi(η,
          t)}L(t)^†D_t\ket{\psi(η^\ast,t)} + \cc \\
                        &=  ∑_\mu\sqrt{G_\mu}
                          \mathcal{M}_{η^\ast}\bra{\psi^{(0)}(η,t)}L(t)^†\ket{\psi^{\vb{e}_\mu}(η^\ast,t)} + \cc.
        \end{aligned}
      \end{equation}
    \end{description}

    This result allows us (in principle) to calculate the energy flow in
    \textbf{arbitrarily driven systems} for a \textbf{wide temperature
      range} and with (sub-)Ohmic BCF.
