Abstract

The [Formula: see text]-bit is the [Formula: see text]-deformation of the [Formula: see text]-bit. It arises canonically from the quantum decomposition of Bernoulli random variables and the [Formula: see text]-parameter has a natural probabilistic and physical interpretation as asymmetry index of the given random variable. The connection between a new type of [Formula: see text]-deformation (generalizing the Hudson–Parthasarathy bosonization technique and different from the usual one) and the Azema martingale was established by Parthasarathy. Inspired by this result, Schürmann first introduced left and right [Formula: see text]-JW-embeddings of [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text] complex matrices) into the infinite tensor product [Formula: see text], proved central limit theorems (CLT) based on these embeddings in the context of ∗-bi-algebras and constructed a general theory of [Formula: see text]-Levy processes on ∗-bi-algebras. For [Formula: see text], left [Formula: see text]-JW-embeddings define the Jordan–Wigner transformation, used to construct a tensor representation of the Fermi anti-commutation relations (bosonization). For [Formula: see text], they reduce to the usual tensor embeddings that were at the basis of the first quantum CLT due to von Waldenfels. The present paper is the first of a series of four in which we study these theorems in the tensor product context. We prove convergence of the CLT for all [Formula: see text]. The moments of the limit random variable coincide with those found by Parthasarathy in the case [Formula: see text]. We prove that the space where the limit random variable is represented is not the Boson Fock space, as in Parthasarathy, but the monotone Fock space in the case [Formula: see text] and a non-trivial deformation of it for [Formula: see text]. The main analytical tool in the proof is a non-trivial extension of a recently proved multi-dimensional, higher order Cesaro-type theorem. The present paper deals with the standard CLT, i.e. the limit is a single random variable. Paper1 deals with the functional extension of this CLT, leading to a process. In paper2 the left [Formula: see text]-JW–embeddings are replaced by symmetric [Formula: see text]-embeddings. The radical differences between the results of the present paper and those of2 raise the problem to characterize those CLT for which the limit space provides the canonical decomposition of all the underlying classical random variables (see the Introduction, Lemma 4.5 and Sec. 5 of the present paper for the origin of this problem). This problem is solved in the paper3 for CLT associated to states satisfying a generalized Fock property. The states considered in this series have this property.

The qq-bit (III): Symmetric q-Jordan–Wigner embeddings

Luigi Accardi, Yun Gang Lu

We prove that, replacing the left Jordan–Wigner [Formula: see text]-embedding by the symmetric [Formula: see text]-embedding described in Sec. 2, the result of the corresponding central limit theorem changes drastically with respect to those obtained in Ref. 5. In fact, in the former case, for any [Formula: see text], the limit space is precisely the [Formula: see text]-mode Interacting Fock Space (IFS) that realizes the canonical quantum decomposition of the limit classical random variable. In the latter case, this happens if and only if [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, as shown in Sec. 4, the limit classical random variable turns out to coincide with the [Formula: see text]-mode version of the [Formula: see text]-deformed quantum Brownian introduced by Parthasarathy[Formula: see text], and extended to the general context of bi-algebras by Schürman[Formula: see text]. The last section of the paper (Appendix) describes this continuous version in white noise language, leading to a simplification of the original proofs, based on quantum stochastic calculus.

The quantum moment problem for a classical random variable and a classification of interacting Fock spaces

Luigi Accardi, Yun Gang Lu

The fact that any classical random variable with all moments has a quantum decomposition allows to associate to it a family of quantum moments. On the other hand, a classical random variable may have several inequivalent quantum decompositions, which lead to the same classical, but different quantum moments. Even in the simplest Central Limit Theorems (CLT), i.e. those of Bernoulli type, there are examples in which the corresponding quantum moments converge to the canonical quantum moments of the associated classical random variable, and examples in which this is not the case. This poses the problem to find a constructive criterium that characterizes the quantum moments associated to the canonical quantum decomposition (which is unique) with respect to the other ones. Theorem [Formula: see text] of the present paper provides such a criterium. Theorem [Formula: see text] deals with the case when one knows a priori that the quantum moments come from a central limit theorem (the motivation of the present paper arose in this context). It gives only a sufficient condition, but simpler to verify than the necessary and sufficient conditions of Theorem [Formula: see text]. Theorem [Formula: see text] naturally leads to a classification of Interacting Fock Spaces (IFS) into three types. We construct examples showing that all these possibilities can effectively take place. On the way, we prove that all the best known deformations of Heisenberg commutation relations can be obtained as special cases of a general construction within the algebraic approach to the theory of orthogonal polynomials.

Two-dimensional quantum Bernoulli process and the related central limit theorem

Yun Gang Lu

In this paper, we introduce a quantum decomposition of a two-dimensional Bernoulli random variable [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Based on this quantum decomposition, we defined the two-dimensional quantum Bernoulli process and set a corresponding central limit theorem, both in the sense of quantum moments and in the sense of characteristic function.

The quantum decomposition associated with the Lévy white noise processes without moments

Luigi Accardi, Anis Riahi, Habib Rebei

The theory of one-mode type Interacting Fock Space IFS allows us to construct the quantum decomposition associated with stochastic processes on ℜ with moments of any order. The problem to extend this result to processes without moments of any order is still open but the Araki–Woods–Parthasarathy–Schmidt characterization of Levy processes in terms of boson Fock spaces, canonically associated with the Levy–Khintchine functions of these processes, provides a quantum decomposition for them which is based on boson creations, annihilation and preservation operators rather than on their IFS counterparts. In order to compare the two quantum decompositions in their common domain of application i.e., the Levy processes with moments of all orders the first step is to give a precise formulation of the quantum decomposition for these processes and the analytical conditions of its validity. We show that these conditions distinguish three different notions of quantum decomposition of a Levy process on ℜ according to the existence of second or only first moments, or no moments at all. For the last class a multiplicative renormalization procedure is needed.

Quantum Stochastic Differential Equations

Mou-Hsiung Chang

Quite a few researchers have contributed to the development of quantum stochastic differential equations driven by quantum noises, initiated by Hudson and Parthasarathy [HP84a]. A nonexhaustive list of contributors includes Fagnola and Wills [FW00], [FW03], Obata [Oba97], and Linsay and Skalski [LS10]. Based on the results presented in Chapter 3, this chapter derives and considers a general form of linear (left) and (right) Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic differential equations driven by quantum noises in symmetric Fock space with operator-valued matrices as coefficients. Specifically, it studies the existence and uniqueness of the strong and mild solution processes for both the left and right quantum stochastic differential equations and conditions under which the solution processes are unitary, isometry, co-isometry, and regular. These results make extensive use of the properties of stochastic integral driven by quantum noise and its quantum stochastic calculus in the context of a symmetric Fock space, which was explored in Chapter 3. Various discrete approximation schemes, including Bouten et al. [BvH07], of the left Hudson-Parthasarathy QSDE are also explored for numerical computation. Specifically, it is shown that the solution of the Hudson- Parthasarathy QSDE can be approximated by a sequence of discrete interaction models with decreasing time step. In order to study this problem, discrete interaction models are embedded in a limiting space. This allows one to present strong convergence of the embedded discrete cocycles to the solution of the Hudson-Parthasarathy QSDE. It will be pointed out that the way in which the embedding is done does not affect the proof of the main result for discrete approximations. Examples of a QSDE that is analytically solvable and a QSDE that possesses a mild solution but not a strong solution are also given. QSDE of Hudson-Parthasarathy Type It has been mentioned earlier in Chapter 3 that an open quantum systems treated in this monograph are to be formulated as a quantum system in which the underlined (or the initial) quantum system is perturbed by quantum noises that represent the environment.

THE QUANTUM DECOMPOSITION OF RANDOM VARIABLES WITHOUT MOMENTS

Luigi Accardi, Habib Rebei, Anis Riahi

The quantum decomposition of a classical random variable is one of the deep results of quantum probability: it shows that any classical random variable or stochastic process has a built-in non-commutative structure which is intrinsic and canonical, and not artificially put by hands. Up to now the technique to deduce the quantum decomposition has been based on the theory of interacting Fock spaces and on Jacobi's tri-diagonal relation for orthogonal polynomials. Therefore it requires the existence of moments of any order and cannot be applied to random variables without this property. The problem to find an analogue of the quantum decomposition for random variables without finite moments of any order remained open for about fifteen years and nobody had any idea of how such a decomposition could look like. In the present paper we prove that any infinitely divisible random variable has a quantum decomposition canonically associated to its Lévy–Khintchin triple. The analytical formulation of this result is based on Kolmogorov representation of these triples in terms of 1–cocycles (helices) in Hilbert spaces and on the Araki–Woods–Parthasarathy–Schmidt characterization of these representation in terms of Fock spaces. It distinguishes three classes of random variables: (i) with finite second moment; (ii) with finite first moment only; (iii) without any moment. The third class involves a new type of renormalization based on the associated Lévy–Khinchin function.
