Diffusion of quantum states generated by a classical random walk

Abstract

We investigate a model that associates random walks in a finite-dimensional Euclidean coordinate space of a classical system with random quantum walks, i.e. random transformations of the set of states of a quantum system arising from quantization of a classical system. As is known, the convolution semigroup of Gaussian measures on a coordinate space admits a representation by a semigroup of self-adjoint contractions in the space of square-integrable functions described by the heat equation. We obtain a representation of the convolution semigroup of Gaussian measures on a coordinate space by a quantum dynamic semigroup in the space of nuclear operators. We give a description of the quantum dynamic semigroup by solutions of the Cauchy problem for a degenerate diffusion equation. We establish the generalized convergence in distribution of a sequence of quantum random walks to an operator-valued random process with values in the Abelian algebra of shift operators by a vector with a normal distribution.

Quantum Random Walks and Quantum Oscillator in an Infinite-Dimensional Phase Space

Vladimir Mikhailovich Busovikov, Alexander Nikolaevich Pechen, Vsevolod Zhanovich Sakbaev

We consider quantum random walks in an infinite-dimensional phase space constructed using Weyl representation of the coordinate and momentum operators in the space of functions on a Hilbert space which are square integrable with respect to a shift-invariant measure. We study unitary groups of shift operators in the phase space and averaging of such shifts by Gaussian vectors, which form semigroups of self-adjoint contractions: we find conditions for their strong continuity and establish properties of their generators. Significant differences in their properties allow us to show the absence of the Fourier transform as a unitary transformation that implements the unitary equivalence of these compressive semigroups. Next, we prove the Taylor formula for a certain special subset of smooth functions for shifting to a non-finite vector. It allows us to prove convergence of quantum random walks in the coordinate representation to the evolution of a diffusion process, as well as convergence of quantum random walks in both coordinate and momentum representations to the evolution semigroup of a quantum oscillator in an infinite-dimensional phase space. We find the special essential common domain of generators of semigroups arising in averaging of random shift operators both in position and momentum representations. The invariance of this common domain with respect to both semigroups allows to establish properties of a convex combination of both generators. That convex combination are Hamiltonians of infinite-dimentional quantum oscillators. Thus, we obtain that a Weyl representation of a random walk in an infinite dimensional phase space describes the semigroup of self-adjoint contractions whose generator is the Hamiltonian of an infinite dimensional harmonic oscillator.

Dynamics of Singular Quantum States Generated by Averaging Random Shifts

Vladimir Mikhailovich Busovikov, V. Zh. Sakbaev

Abstract Random walks in a real separable Hilbert space correspond to a composition of random unitary operators in the space of functions square integrable with respect to a translation-invariant measure, as well as to a composition of random unitary channels in the space of quantum states. Conditions on the distribution of random walks that are necessary and sufficient for the continuity of the mathematical expectations of their representations in the Hilbert space and the space of quantum states are obtained. The dynamics of the set of quantum states obtained by averaging random shifts over the semigroup (with respect to the convolution operation) of centered Gaussian measures on the Hilbert space is studied. It is shown that, depending on the property of the covariance operator of the Gaussian measure to have a nuclear square root, such dynamics is either a strongly continuous quantum dynamical semigroup or instantaneously destroys the set of normal states. In the latter case, the dynamics of singular quantum states is described in terms of the evolution of mean values on an operator algebra that implements a representation of canonical commutation relations.

Bi - continuous semigroups of stochastic quantum dynamics

Andrey Vladimirovich Utkin

This paper is devoted to the aspects of derivation of dynamics equation of quantum system under a stochastic dynamics. We study the conditions, under which a sequence of random variations of wave function can approximate a random diffusion process in a Hilbert space. A random variation $|\psi_0\rangle \mapsto G_{t_N}\ldots G_{t_1}|\psi_0\rangle =|\psi_{t_N}\rangle $ is associated with a transform of distribution of vector $|\psi\rangle $, as well as with the variation of its characteristic functional $\varphi(v)=\mathbb{E}\exp(i\operatorname{Re}\langle v|\psi\rangle ).$ For a continuous random walk we study the approximation of a Markov semigroup by the Markov operators of discrete random walk. We pay a special attention to the cases, when the derivative of random operator $F'(0)$ is an unbounded operator. However, we restrict the consideration to the case when the Markov operators of random walks with the operators $G_t$ mutually commute. The characteristic functional is transformed by the Markov operator of adjoint process, and in contrast to the dynamics of wave function, it has a deterministic nature that allows us to rely on the developed theory of semigroups in Banach spaces. The most illustrative examples are the process of continuous measurement, that is, the measurement of trajectories of some observable, and the random control.

Random Quantization of Hamiltonian Systems

John Edward Gough, Yu. N. Orlov, Vsevolod Zhanovich Sakbaev +1 more

Abstract A quantization of a Hamiltonian system is an ambiguous procedure. Accordingly, we introduce the notion of random quantization, related random variables with values in the set of self-adjoint operators, and random processes with values in the group of unitary operators. The procedures for the averaging of random unitary groups and averaging of random self-adjoint operators are defined. The generalized weak convergence of a sequence of measures and the corresponding generalized convergence in distribution of a sequence of random variables are introduced. The generalized convergence in distribution for some sequences of compositions of random mappings is obtained. In the case of a sequence of compositions of shifts by independent random vectors of Euclidean space, the obtained convergence coincides with the statement of the central limit theorem for a sum of independent random vectors. The results are applied to the dynamics of quantum systems arising in random quantization of a Hamiltonian system.

STOCHASTIC PROPERTIES OF DEGENERATED QUANTUM SYSTEMS

Vsevolod Zhanovich Sakbaev

We study Schrödinger equation with degenerated symmetric but not self-adjoint Hamiltonian. The above properties of the quantum Hamiltonian arise in the description of the asymptotic behavior of the regularizing self-adjoint Hamiltonians sequence. A quantum dynamical semigroup corresponding to degenerated Hamiltonian is defined by means of the passage to the limit for the sequence of the regularizing dynamical semigroups. These semigroups are generated by the regularizing self-adjoint Hamiltonians. The necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the convergence of the regularizing semigroups sequence. The description of the divergent sequence of semigroups requires the extension of the stochastic process concept. We extend the stochastic process concept onto the family of measurable functions defined on the space endowed with finite additive measure. The above extension makes it possible to describe the structure of the partial limits set of the regularizing semigroups sequence.

Banach and counting measures, and dynamics of singular quantum states generated by averaging of operator random walks

E. A. Dzhenzher, S. V. Dzhenzher, V. Zh. Sakbaev

In this paper the random channels and their compositions in the space of quantum states are studied. For compositions of i.i.d. random unitary channels, the limit behaviour of probability distributions is described. The sufficient condition for convergence in probability is obtained. The generalized convergence in distribution w.r.t. weak operator topology is obtained. The analysis of transmission of pure and normal states to the set of singular states is done. The dynamics of quantum states is described in terms of the evolution of the values of quadratic forms of operators from the algebra that implements the representation of canonical commutation relations.
