Dynamics of Moments and Stationary States for GKSL Equations of Classical Diffusion Type

Danil Dmitrievich Ivanov, Alexander Evgen’evich Teretenkov

Published Aug 1, 2022• 8 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

The explicit dynamics of the moments for the GKSL equation and the approach in finding stationary Gaussian states are obtained. In our case the GKSL equation corresponds to Wiener stochastic processes. Such equations contain a double commutator which can be understood as a quantum analog of the second spatial derivative.

Dynamics of Moments of Arbitrary Order for Stochastic Poisson Compressions

The explicit dynamics of the moments for the GKSL equation is obtained. In our case the GKSL equation corresponds to Poisson stochastic processes which lead to unitary jumps. We consider squeeze operators as the unitary jumps.

From quantum stochastic differential equations to Gisin-Percival state diffusion

Kalyanapuram Rangachari Parthasarathy, A. R. Usha Devi

Starting from the quantum stochastic differential equations of Hudson and Parthasarathy [Commun. Math. Phys. 93, 301 (1984)] and exploiting the Wiener-Itô-Segal isomorphism between the boson Fock reservoir space Γ(L2(R+)⊗(Cn⊕Cn)) and the Hilbert space L2(μ), where μ is the Wiener probability measure of a complex n-dimensional vector-valued standard Brownian motion {B(t),t≥0}, we derive a non-linear stochastic Schrödinger equation describing a classical diffusion of states of a quantum system, driven by the Brownian motion B. Changing this Brownian motion by an appropriate Girsanov transformation, we arrive at the Gisin-Percival state diffusion equation [N. Gisin and J. Percival, J. Phys. A 167, 315 (1992)]. This approach also yields an explicit solution of the Gisin-Percival equation, in terms of the Hudson-Parthasarathy unitary process and a randomized Weyl displacement process. Irreversible dynamics of system density operators described by the well-known Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equation is unraveled by coarse-graining over the Gisin-Percival quantum state trajectories.

Quantum Diffusion, Measurement and Filtering I

V. P. Belavkin

A brief presentation is given of the basic concepts in quantum probability theory in analogy to the classical ones, as well as the necessary information about noncommutative stochastic integration and its explicit representation in the Fock space. Algebraic differential relations that define quantum diffusion motion with nondemolition observation are derived. In the Markov case we obtain the stochastic equation of quantum diffusion filtering which is analogous to the Zakai equation of classical nonlinear filtering. A quantum linear stochastic model with continuous observation is given for which this equation is reduced to a linear stochastic quantum filtering equation of Kalman-Busi type and to the operator Riccati equation. We also consider an example of observing the coordinate of a free quantum particle, for which the solution of a stationary quantum filtering problem is obtained.

Stochastic Schrodinger and Heisenberg equations: a martingale problem in quantum stochastic processes

Hiroshi Hasegawa, R. F. Streater

The relation between a quantum dynamical semigroup and the associated quantum stochastic processes can be formulated by an analogy in operator algebras to the martingale problem of Stroock and Varadhan (1969) for classical diffusions. It is shown that under simple circumstances the formulation yields the explicit solution. The authors give three such examples.

Criteria for Feasible Monte Carlo Stochastic Simulations of Bosonic Markovian Open Quantum Dynamics

Toma Yoneya, Kazuya Fujimoto, Yuki Kawaguchi

The Monte Carlo sampling of the stochastic differential equations (SDEs) based on the quasiprobability distribution function, such as the Glauber--Sudarshan P, Wigner, and Husimi Q functions provides a powerful framework for investigating bosonic open quantum many-body dynamics described by the Gorini--Kossakowski--Sudarshan--Lindblad (GKSL) equation, while considering the effects of quantum fluctuations beyond the mean-field approximation. However, the stochastic Monte Carlo simulation is possible only when the corresponding Fokker--Planck equation has a positive-semidefinite diffusion matrix, and the general conditions for the diffusion matrix to be positive semidefinite have remained unclear. In this work, starting from the path integral formulation, we first derive the sufficient conditions under which the diffusion matrix is positive semidefinite for an arbitrary Hamiltonian, jump operators, and choice of quasiprobability distribution functions. We also analytically derive the corresponding SDEs to be solved. We then investigate the dynamics of the GKSL equation in the thermodynamic limit and show that, depending on the form of the jump operators, the mean-field approximation may fail to describe the dynamics accurately, making stochastic Monte Carlo simulations indispensable. Furthermore, we derive the sufficient conditions under which the higher-order quantum fluctuation terms beyond the Fokker--Planck description vanish identically, even when the jump operators contain quadratic terms. Under these conditions, whenever the corresponding SDEs can be derived, the stochastic Monte Carlo simulation reproduces the exact dynamics. These results clarify the conditions under which the stochastic Monte Carlo simulations are both feasible and necessary for accurately describing the dynamics governed by the GKSL equation in phase space.
