    Abstract

    Identification of complicated quantum environments lies in the core of quantum engineering, which systematically constructs an environment model with the aim of accurate control of quantum systems. In this paper, we present an inverse-system method to identify damping rate functions, which describe non-Markovian environments in time-convolution-less master equations. To access information on the environment, we couple a finite-level quantum system to the environment and measure time traces of local observables of the system. By using sufficient measurement results, an algorithm is designed, which can simultaneously estimate multiple damping rate functions for different dissipative channels. Further, we show that identifiability for the damping rate functions corresponds to the invertibility of the system and a necessary condition for identifiability is also given. The effectiveness of our method is shown in examples of an atom and three-spin-chain non-Markovian systems.
