Description
Pseudomodes have grown in popularity in recent years as an intuitive numerical method for solving the general problem of a quantum system coupled to a Gaussian environment. I will summarize the various formulations of pseudomodes that have appeared in the literature, and demonstrate how they can be used to model non-Markovian bosonic environments and the Kondo effect in the single-impurity Anderson model. I will finish with showing how they can be used an convenient protocol for performing quantum simulation of open quantum systems and, consequently, for acting as engineered environments for dissipative state engineering.
