On the Generator of the Solution of a Quantum Stochastic Differential Equation

Abstract

If the Hamiltonian of the system is a bounded selfadjoint operator, we give a simple alternative characterization of the infinitesimal generator iC of the unitary group associated with a Quantum Stochastic Differential Equation (QSDE). By using the defect indices of the symmetric operator C, we give a sufficient condition that assures that iC is the restriction of a generator of a strongly continuous semigroup of isometries in the case when the Hamiltonian of the system is an unbounded symmetric operator.

On the Hamiltonian of a class of quantum stochastic processes

Roberto Quezada Batalla, Oswaldo Gonzalez-Gaxiola

Following the approach proposed by A. M. Chebotarev, we study the generator of a strongly continuous unitary group associated with solutions of the Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE) in the case when the operators of the system of arbitrary multiplicity (or operator-valued coefficients characterizing the quantum system) are unbounded and noncommuting. We apply our results to the two-photon absorption and emission process.

ON THE HAMILTONIAN OPERATOR ASSOCIATED TO SOME QUANTUM STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Matteo Gregoratti

We consider the quantum stochastic differential equation introduced by Hudson and Parthasarathy to describe the stochastic evolution of an open quantum system together with its environment. We study the (unbounded) Hamiltonian operator generating the unitary group connected, as shown by Frigerio and Maassen, to the solution of the equation. We find a densely defined restriction of the Hamiltonian operator; in some special cases we prove that this restriction is essentially self-adjoint and in one particular case we get the whole Hamiltonian with its full domain.

Quantum stochastic differential equation is unitary equivalent to a symmetric boundary value problem in Fock space

Alexander Mikhailovich Chebotarev

We show a new remarkable connection between the symmetric form of a quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE) and the strong resolvent limit of Schrödinger equations in Fock space: the strong resolvent limit is unitary equivalent to QSDE in the adapted (or Ito) form, and the weak limit is unitary equivalent to the symmetric (or Stratonovich) form of QSDE. We prove that QSDE is unitary equivalent to a symmetric boundary value problem for the Schrödinger equation in Fock space. The boundary condition describes standard jumps of the phase and amplitude of components of Fock vectors belonging to the range of the resolvent. The corresponding Markov evolution equation (the Lindblad or Markov master equation) is derived from the boundary value problem for the Schrödinger equation.}

A SOLVABLE QSDE THROUGH SEMIGROUPS OF OPERATORS AND SOME PHYSICAL APPLICATIONS

Oswaldo Gonzalez-Gaxiola, José Antonio Santiago, Guillermo Chacón‐Acosta

In this paper we give a characterization, through semigroups theory, of the solution of a quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE).In the physical interpretation of the problem, we show that the group that characterizes the quantum dynamics appears as the strong limit a family of translations perturbed by a Gaussian potential.Finally, we use the model to study a twolevel atom in an electromagnetic field.

Unitary Quantum Stochastic Evolutions

G. F. Vincent-Smith

In the calculus of Hudson and Parthasarathy we show the existence of a solution to the quantum stochastic evolution equation U ( t ) = I + ∫ 0 t U ( s ) ( L 1 d Λ ( s ) + L 2 d A ( s ) + L 3 d A † ( s ) + L 4 d s ) for a class of unbounded operators L1, …, L4 in the initial space, and show that the necessary and sufficient condition that U be a unitary process is the same as in the case that L1, …, L4 are bounded. Applications of the vacuum conditional expectation to U give rise to strongly continuous semigroups and their generators in the initial space, and to ultraweakly continuous completely positive semigroups and their generators in the von Neumann algebra of the initial space.

SYMMETRIC DIFFERENTIATION AND HAMILTONIAN OF A QUANTUM STOCHASTIC PROCESS

Wilhelm von Waldenfels

The main object of this paper is to establish the Hamiltonian of the Hudson–Parthasarathy quantum stochastic differential equation [Formula: see text] As its solution forms a cocycle with respect to the time shift, its product with the time shift establishes a strongly continuous one-parameter unitary group W(t)= exp (-itH) and H is called its Hamiltonian. Our main result is that H is the closure of the restriction of the singular operator [Formula: see text] on an appropriate domain that shall be explicitly described. The symmetric differentiation [Formula: see text] is a generalization of the generator of the time shift, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are annihilation and creation operators and [Formula: see text] is the symmetric Dirac δ-function. In one dimension the symmetric differentiation might be used to establish a quantum stochastic calculus without Ito term.
