Quantum jump trajectories, hybrid systems, non-Hermitian evolutions, quantum/classical walks

Alberto Barchielli

Quantum stochastic master equations of jump type are formulated in a general way and connections with quantum/classical hybrid systems and quantum filtering theory are discussed. By introducing the notion of ``typical trajectory", we show how to recursively construct the solution of the non-linear stochastic master equation (the conditional state). Moreover, by the notion of ``exclusive probability densities" we can describe all the probabilities related to the jumps, in particular, the waiting times of the jumps and their probability distributions. This general formulation and the idea of hybrid system allow to unify and generalize different fields: evolutions under non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, unitary dynamics interspersed by quantum channels at random times, quantum renewal processes, continuous time open quantum walks, Lindblad rate equation, ...

Further Generalization of the Generalized Master Equation

Boris Leaf

For a system described in a phase space of generalized coordinates w and momenta J, the generalized master equation gives the time evolution of the reduced-density distribution function ρ(t, J) for the momenta. A generalization of the generalized master equation, having a similar non-Markoffian form, is derived for the full distribution function ρ(t, w, J). This equation is an alternate form of the Liouville equation. The derivation is an extension of a previous derivation of the generalized master equation from the Liouville equation utilizing projection operators in a Hilbert space. The time-evolution equation for the reduced distribution function ρr(t, wr, J), depending on the subset wr of the set of coordinates w, is derived. The approach to a stationary state for t → ∞ is discussed.
