Adiabatic elimination in quantum stochastic models

Luc Bouten, Andrew Silberfarb

Published Nov 21, 2012• 26 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

We consider a physical system coupled to bosonic reservoirs via a quantum stochastic differential equation. We study the limit of this model as the coupling strength tends to infinity. We show that in this limit the solution to the quantum stochastic differential equation converges strongly to the solution of a limit quantum stochastic differential equation. In the limiting dynamics the excited states are removed and the ground states couple directly to the reservoir. 1

Singular perturbation of quantum stochastic differential equations with coupling through an oscillator mode

John Edward Gough, Ramon, Van Handel

Abstract. We consider a physical system which is coupled indirectly to a Markovian resevoir through an oscillator mode. This is the case, for example, in the usual model of an atomic sample in a leaky optical cavity which is ubiquitous in quantum optics. In the strong coupling limit the oscillator can be eliminated entirely from the model, leaving an effective direct coupling between the system and the resevoir. Here we provide a mathematically rigorous treatment of this limit as a weak limit of the time evolution and observables on a suitably chosen exponential domain in Fock space. The resulting effective model may contain emission and absorption as well as scattering interactions. 1.

On characterizing quantum stochastic evolutions

R. L. Hudson, J. Martin Lindsay

It has recently been shown [7, 8, 4] that Markov dilations of quantum dynamical semigroups may be constructed by solving corresponding quantum stochastic differential equations. These equations may be interpreted as describing the evolution of a quantum system with a singular coupling to a Boson reservoir, moreover, when solutions are combined with the free evolution of the reservoir, a reversible evolution results which may be interpreted as that of the system plus reservoir. It is the purpose of the present paper to characterize the above stochastic evolutions essentially by a condition of with respect to the free evolution.

Stochastic limits of Quantum repeated measurements

Antoine Jacquier, Kostas Kardaras, Adeline Viot

We investigate quantum systems perturbed by noise in the form of repeated interactions between the system and the environment. As the number of interactions (aka time steps) tends to infinity, we show, following the works by Pellegrini, that this system converges to the solution of a Volterra stochastic differential equation. This development sets interesting future research paths at the intersection of quantum algorithms, stochastic differential equations, weak convergence and large deviations.

Quantum decoherence and the Glauber dynamics from the Stochastic limit

Luigi Accardi, Sergei Vladimirovich Kozyrev

The effects of decoherence for quantum system coupled with a bosonic field are investigated. An application of the stochastic golden rule shows that in the stochastic limit the dynamics of such a system is described by a quantum stochastic differential equation. The corresponding master equation describes convergence of a system to equilibrium. In particular it predicts exponential damping for off-diagonal matrix elements of the system density matrix, moreover these elements for a generic system will decay at least as \exp(-tN{kT\over\hbar}), where N is a number of particles in the system. As an application of the described technique a derivation from first principles (i.e. starting from a Hamiltonian description) of a quantum extension of the Glauber dynamics for systems of spins is given.

QUANTUM STOCHASTIC PROCESSES: BOSON AND FERMION BROWNIAN MOTION

Alexander E. Kobryn, Tsuyoshi Hayashi, Toshihico Arimitsu

Dynamics of quantum systems which are stochastically perturbed by linear coupling to the reservoir can be studied in terms of quantum stochastic differential equations (for example, quantum stochastic Liouville equation and quantum Langevin equation).In order to work it out one needs to define the quantum Brownian motion.As far as only its boson version has been known until recently, in the present paper we present the definition which makes it possible to consider the fermion Brownian motion as well.

The stochastic limit of quantum spin systems

L. Accardi

The stochastic limit for the system of spins interacting with a boson field is investigated. In the finite volume an application of the stochastic golden rule shows that in the limit the dynamics of a quantum system is described by a quantum white noise equation that after taking of normal order is equivalent to quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE). For the quantum Langevin equation the dynamics is well defined and is a quantum flow on the infinite lattice system.
