Abstract

We develop linear stochastic Schrödinger equations driven by standard cylindrical Brownian motions (LSSs) that unravel quantum master equations in Lindblad form into quantum trajectories. More precisely, this paper establishes the existence and uniqueness of the smooth strong solution Xt to a LSS with regular initial condition. Moreover, we obtain that the mean value of the square norm of Xt is constant. We also treat the approximation of LSSs by ordinary stochastic differential equations. We apply our results to: (i) models of quantum measurements of position and momentum; and (ii) a system formed by fermions.

REGULARITY OF SOLUTIONS TO QUANTUM MASTER EQUATIONS: A STOCHASTIC APPROACH

Carlos M. Mora

Applying probabilistic techniques we study regularity properties of quantum master equations (QMEs) in the Lindblad form with unbounded coefficients; a density operator is regular if, roughly speaking, it describes a quantum state with finite energy. Using the linear stochastic Schrödinger equation we deduce that solutions of QMEs preserve the regularity of the initial states under a general nonexplosion condition. To this end, we develop the probabilistic representation of QMEs, and we prove the uniqueness of solutions for adjoint quantum master equations. By means of the nonlinear stochastic Schrödinger equation, we obtain the existence of regular stationary solutions for QMEs, under a Lyapunov-type condition.

Basic properties of nonlinear stochastic Schrödinger equations driven by Brownian motions

Carlos M. Mora, Rolando Rebolledo

The paper is devoted to the study of nonlinear stochastic Schrödinger equations driven by standard cylindrical Brownian motions (NSSEs) arising from the unraveling of quantum master equations. Under the Born–Markov approximations, this class of stochastic evolutions equations on Hilbert spaces provides characterizations of both continuous quantum measurement processes and the evolution of quantum systems. First, we deal with the existence and uniqueness of regular solutions to NSSEs. Second, we provide two general criteria for the existence of regular invariant measures for NSSEs. We apply our results to a forced and damped quantum oscillator.

Quantum Bernoulli noises approach to quantum master equations and applications to Ehrenfest-type theorems

This paper investigates the regularity properties of quantum master equations with unbounded coefficients within the space of square-integrable complex-valued Bernoulli functionals. Initially, we demonstrate the existence of a unique regular solution to the linear stochastic Schrödinger equation driven by cylindrical Brownian motions. Subsequently, we establish the existence of regular solutions for the autonomous linear quantum master equation and provide a probabilistic representation of this solution in terms of the stochastic Schrödinger equation. Finally, by taking the expectation of some observables with respect to the solution of the quantum master equation, we derive a system of differential equations that describe the evolution of the mean values of certain quantum observables.

Stochastic Schrodinger equations and applications to Ehrenfest-type theorems

Franco Fagnola, Carlos M. Mora

We study stochastic evolution equations describing the dynamics of open quantum systems. First, using resolvent approximations, we obtain a suf- ficient condition for regularity of solutions to linear stochastic Schrodinger equa- tions driven by cylindrical Brownian motions applying to many physical systems. Then, we establish well-posedness and norm conservation property of a wide class of open quantum systems described in position representation. Moreover, we prove Ehrenfest-type theorems that describe the evolution of the mean value of quantum observables in open systems. Finally, we give a new criterion for the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to non-linear stochastic Schrequations. We apply our results to physical systems such as fluctuating ion traps and quantum measurement processes of position.
