MAXIMAL COMMUTATIVE SUBALGEBRAS INVARIANT FOR CP-MAPS: (COUNTER-)EXAMPLES

Published Dec 1, 2008• 5 citations

Abstract

We solve, mainly by counterexamples, many natural questions regarding maximal commutative subalgebras invariant under CP-maps or semigroups of CP-maps on a von Neumann algebra. In particular, we discuss the structure of the generators of norm continuous semigroups on [Formula: see text] leaving a maximal commutative subalgebra invariant and show that there exist Markov CP-semigroups on Md without invariant maximal commutative subalgebras for any d > 2.

In particular, we discuss the structure of the generators of norm continuous semigroups on B(G) leaving a maximal commutative subalgebra invariant and show that there exists Markov CP-semigroups on Md without invariant maximal commutative subalgebras for any d>2. 1

Restrictions of CP-Semigroups to Maximal Commutative Subalgebras

Franco Fagnola, Michael Skeide

We give a necessary and sufficient criterion when a normal CP-map on a von Neumann algebra admits a restriction to a maximal commutative subalgebra. We apply this result to give a far reaching generalization of Rebolledo's sufficient criterion for the Lindblad generator of a Markov semigroup on B(G).

On the Generators of Quantum Dynamical Semigroups with Invariant Subalgebras

Markus Hasenöhrl, Matthias C. Caro

The problem of characterizing GKLS-generators and CP-maps with an invariant von Neumann algebra [Formula: see text] appeared in different guises in the literature. We prove two unifying results, which hold even for weakly closed *-algebras: first, we show how to construct a normal form for [Formula: see text]-invariant GKLS-generators, if a normal form for [Formula: see text]-invariant CP-maps is known — rendering the two problems essentially equivalent. Second, we provide a normal form for [Formula: see text]-invariant CP-maps if [Formula: see text] is atomic (which includes the finite-dimensional case). As an application we reproduce several results from the literature as direct consequences of our characterizations and thereby point out connections between different fields.

THE DECOHERENCE-FREE SUBALGEBRA OF A QUANTUM MARKOV SEMIGROUP WITH UNBOUNDED GENERATOR

Ameur Dhahri, Franco Fagnola, Rolando Rebolledo

Let [Formula: see text] be a quantum Markov semigroup on [Formula: see text] with a faithful normal invariant state ρ. The decoherence-free subalgebra [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the biggest subalgebra of [Formula: see text] where the completely positive maps [Formula: see text] act as homomorphisms. When [Formula: see text] is the minimal semigroup whose generator is represented in a generalised GKSL form [Formula: see text], with possibly unbounded H, Lℓ, we show that [Formula: see text] coincides with the generalised commutator of [Formula: see text] under some natural regularity conditions. As a corollary we derive simple sufficient algebraic conditions for convergence towards a steady state based on multiple commutators of H and Lℓ. We give examples of quantum Markov semigroups [Formula: see text], with h infinite-dimensional, having a non-trivial decoherence-free subalgebra.

Quantum extensions of dynamical systems and of Markov semigroups

Ivan Bardet

We investigate some particular completely positive maps which admit a stable commutative Von Neumann subalgebra. The restriction of such maps to the stable algebra is then a Markov operator. In the first part of this article, we propose a recipe in order to find a quantum extension of a given Markov operator in the above sense. We show that the existence of such an extension is linked with the existence of a special form of dilation for the Markov operator studied by Attal in \cite{Att1}, reducing the problem to the extension of dynamical system. We then apply our method to the same problem in continuous time, proving the existence of a quantum extension for Lévy processes. In the second part of this article, we focus on the case where the commutative algebra is isomorphic to $\Acal=l^\infty(1,...,N)$ with $N$ either finite or infinite. We propose a classification of the CP maps leaving $\Acal$ stable, producing physical examples of each classes.

The Decoherence-Free Subalgebra of Gaussian Quantum Markov Semigroups

Julián Agredo, Franco Fagnola, Damiano Poletti

Abstract We demonstrate a method for finding the decoherence-free subalgebra $${\mathcal {N}}({\mathcal {T}})$$ N ( T ) of a Gaussian quantum Markov semigroup on the von Neumann algebra $${\mathcal {B}}(\Gamma (\mathbb {C}^d))$$ B ( Γ ( C d ) ) of all bounded operator on the Fock space $$\Gamma (\mathbb {C}^d)$$ Γ ( C d ) on $$\mathbb {C}^d$$ C d . We show that $${\mathcal {N}}({\mathcal {T}})$$ N ( T ) is a type I von Neumann algebra $$L^\infty (\mathbb {R}^{d_c};\mathbb {C}){\overline{\otimes }}{\mathcal {B}}(\Gamma (\mathbb {C}^{d_f}))$$ L ∞ ( R d c ; C ) ⊗ ¯ B ( Γ ( C d f ) ) determined, up to unitary equivalence, by two natural numbers $$d_c,d_f\le d$$ d c , d f ≤ d . This result is illustrated by some applications and examples.
