  1. Representing real-time data as a sum of complex exponentials provides a compact form that enables both denoising and extrapolation. As a fully data-driven method, the Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance Techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm is agnostic to the underlying physical equations, making it broadly applicable to various observables and experimental or numerical setups. In this work, we consider applications of the ESPRIT algorithm primarily to extend real-time dynamical data from simulations of quantum systems. We evaluate ESPRIT's performance in the presence of noise and compare it to other extrapolation methods. We demonstrate its ability to extract information from short-time dynamics to reliably predict long-time behavior and determine the minimum time interval required for accurate results. We discuss how this insight can be leveraged in numerical methods that propagate quantum systems in time, and show how ESPRIT can predict infinite-time values of dynamical observables, offering a purely data-driven approach to characterizing quantum phases.

  2. In this paper, we derive a generalized second fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) for stochastic dynamical systems in the steady state and further show that if the system is highly degenerate, then the classical second FDT is valid even when the exact form of the steady state distribution is unknown. The established theory is built upon the Mori-type generalized Langevin equation for stochastic dynamical systems and hence generally applies to nonequilibrium systems driven by stochastic forces. These theoretical results enable us to construct a data-driven nanoscale fluctuating heat conduction model based on the second FDT. We numerically verify that our heat transfer model yields better predictions than the Green-Kubo formula for systems far from the equilibrium.

  3. Built upon the hypoelliptic analysis of the effective Mori-Zwanzig (EMZ) equation for observables of stochastic dynamical systems, we show that the obtained semigroup estimates for the EMZ equation can be used to derive prior estimates of the observable statistics for systems in the equilibrium and nonequilibrium state. In addition, we introduce both first-principle and data-driven methods to approximate the EMZ memory kernel and prove the convergence of the data-driven parametrization schemes using the regularity estimate of the memory kernel. The analysis results are validated numerically via the Monte-Carlo simulation of the Langevin dynamics for a Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain model. With the same example, we also show the effectiveness of the proposed memory kernel approximation methods.
