White noise theory allows to formulate quantum white noises explicitly as elemental quantum stochastic processes. A traditional quantum stochastic differential equation of Itô type is brought into a normal-ordered white noise differential equation driven by lower powers of quantum white noises. The class of normal-ordered white noise differential equations covers quantum stochastic differential equations with highly singular noises such as higher powers or higher order derivatives of quantum white noises, which are far beyond the traditional Itô theory. For a general normal-ordered white noise differential equation unique existence of a solution is proved in the sense of white noise distribution. Its regularity properties are investigated by means of weighted Fock spaces interpolating spaces of white noise distributions and associated characterization theorems for S-transform and for operator symbols.
We develop a Schrödinger-picture formulation for a scalar quantum field driven by a Lorentz-invariant white-noise field. The quantum state of the system is described by a stochastic wave functional that evolves according to a stochastic Schrödinger equation. We show that the Gaussian structure of the wave functional is preserved under the stochastic evolution, allowing the dynamics to be reduced to a set of equations for the corresponding kernel functions. These kernel equations are derived and solved exactly, yielding an explicit time-dependent expression for the wave functional. The exact solution enables a direct analysis of the statistical properties of the quantum field in the space of field configurations. In particular, we show that the expectation value of the field operator obeys the same stochastic equation as the classical field obtained from the Euler-Lagrange equation of the action. We further compute the energy density from the stochastic wave functional and evaluate its ensemble average over noise realizations. The resulting energy production rate coincides with that obtained from the corresponding Lindblad equation. This result indicates that the stochastic quantum state remains well defined even though certain derived observables exhibit ultraviolet divergences associated with the white-noise idealization.
IntroductionLet
at and
at∗ be respectively annihilation and creation operators at apoint
t∈R .In the theory of white noise operators [23][24], it is known that
at is acontinuous linear operator from
Γu(Ec) , the (Fock) space of test functions over acomplexified nuclear space
Ec , into itself, and at is acontinuous linear operator from
Γu(EC)∗ , the dual space of
Γu(EC) , into itself.In paticular,
at+at∗ and
at+at∗+at∗at+I are cffied the quantum Gaussian white noise and the quantum Poisson white noise, respectively (cf.[11] [24]).These are known to be elemental generalzed qunatum stochastic processes.The main purpose of this work is to examine relationships between classical and quantum white noises from the point of the classical white noise theory of Gaussian [19][20] and Poisson types [13].Then it will be clarified that quantum Gaussian and Poisson white noises are the Fock space realzations of classical Gaussian and Poisson white noises, respectively.We shall discuss them in Section 4. As amatter of fact, one can see that such facts can be proved not only through
J -transform given by (2.4) and the holomorphy, but also through Sx-transform gllven by (3.3) depending on the exponential function
ϕξX .The function
ϕξX determines aunitary isomorphism between Boson Fock space and
L2(E∗,μx) ,
X=G,
P , where
μG and
μP are a Gaussian measure and aPoisson measure on
E∗ , respectively.As is pointed out in Remark 4.3, the choice of
ϕξX (kernel function of
SX -transform)is the essential part to represent the above different quantum noises acting on the same space
