Quantum Stochastic Lie–Trotter Product Formula II

J. Martin Lindsay

Published Jan 16, 2018• 2 citations

Abstract

A natural counterpart to the Lie–Trotter product formula for norm-continuous, one-parameter semigroups is proved, for the class of quasicontractive quantum stochastic (QS) operator cocycles whose expectation semigroup is norm continuous. Compared to previous such results, the assumption of a strong form of independence of the constituent cocycles is overcome. The analysis is facilitated by the development of some quantum Itô algebra. It is also shown how the maximal Gaussian component of a QS generator may be extracted—leading to a canonical decomposition of such generators, and the connection to perturbation theory is described. Finally, the quantum Itô algebra is extended to quadratic form generators, and a conjecture is formulated for the extension of the product formula to holomorphic QS cocycles.

Quantum Wiener chaos

Mateusz Jurczynski

In this thesis we develop the theory of quantum Wiener integrals on the bosonic Fock space. We study multiple quantum Wiener integrals as an algebra of unbounded operators, investigating its properties, including closedness, common domains and multiplication formulas. We show the applications of the new formalism by providing new proofs to the established theory of quantum stochastic calculus and new conditions for generating quantum stochastic cocycles and quantum stochastic evolutions. The corresponding quasifree case is also studied and the constructions extended to fit in that formalism. We construct the multiple quantum Wiener integral as one operator on a family of operators which we dub operator kernels. This in particular covers the case of quantum stochastic cocycles and evolutions. We show that the family of quantum Wiener integrals forms a WOT-dense algebra of unbounded operators on the bosonic Fock space. We provide more general conditions for an operator kernel to be multiple quantum Wiener integrable, which allows us to treat multiple quantum Wiener integrals as an algebra. We explore the influence of an initial space on the theory. Our setting gives natural conditions for a product of two cocycles (evolutions) to still be a cocycle (an evolution). We apply our theory by solving quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDEs) and by finding more elementary proofs of structure conditions on the generator of a quantum stochastic evolution and of the fundamental estimate in the proof of quantum stochastic Lie–Trotter formula. We also show how our theory unifies and generalises the theory of integral kernels and chaotic representation properties, proving in particular that every Hilbert–Schmidt operator is a quantum Wiener integral.

Strong convergence of quantum random walks via semigroup decomposition

Alexander C. R. Belton, Michał Gnacik, J. Martin Lindsay

We give a simple and direct treatment of the strong convergence of quantum random walks to quantum stochastic operator cocycles, via the semigroup decomposition of such cocycles. Our approach also delivers convergence of the pointwise product of quantum random walks to the quantum stochastic Trotter product of the respective limit cocycles, thereby revealing the algebraic structure of the limiting procedure. The repeated quantum interactions model is shown to fit nicely into the convergence scheme described.

Quantum Stochastic Cocycles and Completely Bounded Semigroups on Operator Spaces

J. Martin Lindsay, Stephen J. Wills

An operator space analysis of quantum stochastic cocycles is undertaken. These are cocycles with respect to an ampliated CCR flow, adapted to the associated filtration of subspaces, or subalgebras. They form a noncommutative analog of stochastic semigroups in the sense of Skorohod. One-to-one correspondences are established between classes of cocycle of interest and corresponding classes of one-parameter semigroups on associated matrix spaces. Each of these “global” semigroups may be viewed as the expectation semigroup of an associated quantum stochastic cocycle on the corresponding matrix space. Proof of the two key characterizations, namely that of completely positive contraction cocycles on a C*-algebra, and contraction cocycles on a Hilbert space, involves all of the analysis undertaken here. As indicated by Accardi and Kozyrev, the Schur-action matrix semigroup viewpoint circumvents technical (domain) limitations inherent in the theory of quantum stochastic differential equations.

A Trotter Product Formula for quantum stochastic flows

B. Krishna Das, Debashish Goswami, Kalyan B. Sinha

We give a new method for proving the homomorphic property of a quantum stochastic ow satisfying a quantum stochastic differential equation with unbounded coefficients, under some further hypotheses. As an application, we prove a Trotter product formula for quantum stochastic ows and obtain quantum stochastic dilations of a class of quantum dynamical semigroups generalizing results of [5]

Quantum stochastic convolution cocycles III

J. Martin Lindsay, Adam Skalski

Every Markov-regular quantum Levy process on a multiplier C*-bialgebra is shown to be equivalent to one governed by a quantum stochastic differential equation, and the generating functionals of norm-continuous convolution semigroups on a multiplier C*-bialgebra are then completely characterised. These results are achieved by extending the theory of quantum Levy processes on a compact quantum group, and more generally quantum stochastic convolution cocycles on a C*-bialgebra, to locally compact quantum groups and multiplier C*-bialgebras. Strict extension results obtained by Kustermans, together with automatic strictness properties developed here, are exploited to obtain existence and uniqueness for coalgebraic quantum stochastic differential equations in this setting. Then, working in the universal enveloping von Neumann bialgebra, we characterise the stochastic generators of Markov-regular, *-homomorphic (respectively completely positive and contractive), quantum stochastic convolution cocycles.

The convergence of unitary quantum random walks

Alexander C. R. Belton, Michał Gnacik, J. Martin Lindsay

We give a simple and direct treatment of the convergence of quantum random walks to quantum stochastic operator cocycles, using the semigroup method. The pointwise product of two such quantum random walks is shown to converge to the quantum stochastic Trotter product of the respective limit cocycles. Since such Trotter products themselves reduce to pointwise products when the cocycles inhabit commuting subspaces of the system algebra, this yields an elementary approach to the quantum random walk approximation of the 'tensorisation' of cocycles with common noise dimension space. The repeated quantum interactions model is shown to fit nicely into the convergence scheme described.
