Digital quantum computers have the potential to simulate complex quantum systems. The spin-boson model is one of such systems, used in disparate physical domains. Importantly, in a number of setups, the spin-boson model is open, i.e. the system is in contact with an external environment which can, for instance, cause the decay of the spin state.  Leong Chuan Kwek discusses how to simulate such open quantum dynamics in a digital quantum computer, for which we use one of IBM’s hardware.
