Quantum Stochastic Calculus

Abstract

The basic integrator processes of quantum stochastic calculus, namely, creation, conservation, and annihilation, are introduced in the Hilbert space of square integrable Brownian functionals. Stochastic integrals with respect to these processes and a quantum Itô’s formula are described. As an application two examples of quantum stochastic differential equations are discussed. A continuous time version of Stinespring’s theorem on completely positive maps in C *-algebras is exploited to formulate the notion of a quantum Markov process and indicate how classical Markov processes are woven into the fabric of the Schodinger-Heisenberg dynamics of quantum theory.

Stochastic Integration and Quantum Ito’s Formula

Kalyanapuram Rangachari Parthasarathy

In Section 21 we have already seen how the classical stochastic processes with independent increments can be realised as suitable linear combinations of the creation, conservation and annihilation operators in the boson Fock space Γ s (ℋ) over a Hilbert space ℋ. This includes, in particular, the Brownian motion and Poisson process. Since a well-developed theory of stochastic integration with respect to these classical processes exists, it is natural to wonder whether it would be possible to introduce quantum probabilistic analogues of stochastic integrals with respect to processes defined by the creation, conservation and annihilation operators. To this end one needs the notions of filtration and adapted processes. This, in turn, depends on the notion of time. We adopt the view that time is an ℝ+-valued observable in a Hilbert space ℋ which, as a spectral measure, has no jumps. The absence of jumps is assumed more as a matter of mathematical convenience than a philosophical or conceptual necessity. We shall now examine how such a notion of time leads to a filtration and the definition of adapted processes. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Quantum stochastic calculus associated with quadratic quantum noises

Un Cig Ji, Kalyan B. Sinha

We first study a class of fundamental quantum stochastic processes induced by the generators of a six dimensional non-solvable Lie †-algebra consisting of all linear combinations of the generalized Gross Laplacian and its adjoint, annihilation operator, creation operator, conservation, and time, and then we study the quantum stochastic integrals associated with the class of fundamental quantum stochastic processes, and the quantum Itô formula is revisited. The existence and uniqueness of solution of a quantum stochastic differential equation is proved. The unitarity conditions of solutions of quantum stochastic differential equations associated with the fundamental processes are examined. The quantum stochastic calculus extends the Hudson-Parthasarathy quantum stochastic calculus.

QUANTUM STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SQUARE OF ANNIHILATION AND CREATION PROCESSES

Un Cig Ji, Kalyan B. Sinha

We develop the quantum stochastic calculus associated with the square of annihilation and creation processes. We study the quantum stochastic integral and quantum stochastic differential equation associated with the square of annihilation and creation processes. Under a sufficient condition the solution of the quantum stochastic differential equation becomes unitary and then the unitary solution gives a unitary dilation of an evolution system of which the Hamiltonian is depending on time.

Quantum Stratonovich calculus and the quantum Wong-Zakai theorem

John Edward Gough

We extend the Itō-to-Stratonovich analysis or quantum stochastic differential equations, introduced by Gardiner and Collett for emission (creation), absorption (annihilation) processes, to include scattering (conservation) processes. Working within the framework of quantum stochastic calculus, we define Stratonovich calculus as an algebraic modification of the Itō one and give conditions for the existence of Stratonovich time-ordered exponentials. We show that conversion formula for the coefficients has a striking resemblance to Green’s function formulas from standard perturbation theory. We show that the calculus conveniently describes the Markov limit of regular open quantum dynamical systems in much the same way as in the Wong-Zakai approximation theorems of classical stochastic analysis. We extend previous limit results to multiple-dimensions with a proof that makes use of diagrammatic conventions.

Stochastic Integration on the Full Fock Space with the Help of a Kernel Calculus

Roland Speicher

We develop a stochastic integration theory with respect to creation, annihilation and gauge operators on the full Fock space. This is done by using a kernel representation for a large class of bounded operators on the full Fock space. It is shown that the kernels form a Banach algebra. Having established the definition of processes and stochastic integrals we go on to prove an Ito formula and use this for examining stochastic evolutions and constructing dilations of special completely positive semigroups. Explicit solutions of the corresponding stochastic differential equations are given.

QUANTUM STOCHASTIC CALCULUS ON BOOLEAN FOCK SPACE

Anis Ben Ghorbal, Michael Schürmann

In this paper we establish a theory of stochastic integration with respect to the basic field operator processes in the Boolean case. This leads to a Boolean version of quantum Itô's product formula and has applications to the theory of dilations of quantum dynamical semigroups.
