Quantum extensions of dynamical systems and of Markov semigroups

Ivan Bardet

Published Sep 16, 2015• 2 citations

Abstract

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.

Quantum Markov Semigroups

Mou-Hsiung Chang

In this chapter, we define and explore basic properties of a quantum Markov semigroup { I t , t ≥ 0} of linear maps on the C* -algebra or von Neumann algebra A that characterizes the quantum system. The quantum Markov semigroup (QMS) plays a key role in describing quantum Markov processes that are to be explored in the subsequent chapters. The concept of QMS extends the semigroup of probability transition operators { T t , t ≥ 0} for a classical Markov process to its noncommutative counterpart. Suppose the classical Markov process { X t , t ≥ 0} is defined on the complete filtered classical probability space (Ω, Ƒ, P ; {Ƒ t , t ≥ 0}) and with values in a measurable space (핏, B (X)). Recall that for each t ≥ 0, the probability transition operator T t : L ∞ (X, B (X)) → L ∞ (X, B (X)) by ( T t f )( X s ) = E x [ f ( X s + t ) | Ƒ s ] ∀ s , t ≥ 0. A semigroup of linear maps on the C* -algebra or von Neumann algebra A is said to be a quantum dynamical semigroup (QDS) if (i) I 0 = J (the identity operator on A ); (ii) I t I s = I t + s for all t , s ≥ 0; (iii) I t is completely positive for each t ≥ 0; and (iv) I t is σ weakly continuous on A , i.e., a ↦ tr ( ρI t ( a )) is continuous from A to ℂ for each ρ ∈ S ( A ) (the space of quantum states) and for each t ≥ 0. If in addition I t ( I ) = I , (respectively, I t ( I ) ≤ I ) for all t ≥ 0, then the QDS is said to be a quantum Makrov semigroup (QMS) (respectively, quantum sub-Markov semigroup).

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

B. V. RAJARAMA BHAT, FRANCO FAGNOLA, MICHAEL SKEIDE

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.

The existence problem for dynamics of dissipative systems in quantum probability

Palle E. T. Jørgensen

Motivated by existence problems for dissipative systems arising naturally in lattice models from quantum statistical mechanics, we consider the following C*-algebraic setting: A given Hermitian dissipative mapping δ is densely defined in a unital C*-algebra A. The identity element in A is also in the domain of δ. Completely dissipative maps δ are defined by the requirement that the induced maps, (aij)→(δ(aij)), are dissipative on the n-by-n complex matrices over A for all n. We establish the existence of different types of maximal extensions of completely dissipative maps. If the enveloping von Neumann algebra of A is injective, we show the existence of an extension of δ which is the infinitesimal generator of a quantum dynamical semigroup of completely positive maps in the von Neumann algebra. If δ is a given well-behaved *-derivation, then we show that each of the maps ±δ is completely dissipative.

Classical and Quantum Semigroups

Franco Fagnola

Several quantum Markov semigroups admit an invariant abelian subalgebra which can be looked at as an algebra of bounded functions on some measurable space. The restriction to this subalgebra is a semigroup of positive and identity preserving operators i.e. a classical Markov semigroup (see Examples 3.3, 3.4).

CLASSICAL MARKOV PROCESSES FROM QUANTUM LÉVY PROCESSES

Uwe Franz

We show how classical Markov processes can be obtained from quantum Lévy processes. It is shown that quantum Lévy processes are quantum Markov processes, and sufficient conditions for restrictions to subalgebras to remain quantum Markov processes are given. A classical Markov process (which has the same time-ordered moments as the quantum process in the vacuum state) exists whenever we can restrict to a commutative subalgebra without losing the quantum Markov property.8 Several examples, including the Azéma martingale, with explicit calculations are presented. In particular, the action of the generator of the classical Markov processes on polynomials or their moments are calculated using Hopf algebra duality.
