Time Reversal and Duality

Published Jan 1, 2000• 0 citations

Abstract

Time reversal and duality of Markov processes will play a key role in the stochastic theory of quantum physics. We first discuss time reversal of time-homogeneous Markov processes. To handle the time reversal and (space-time) duality of time-inhomogeneous Markov processes we will define the so-called space-time Markov processes, and prove the main theorems of time reversal and duality. 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 Processes

Luigi Accardi

Let ℬ be *-algebra with identity (usually it wil be a C*- or a W*-algebra). A quantum stochastic process over ℬ indexed by ℝ is defined by a triple { A , (j t ) t∈ℝ , φ } where A is a *-algebra with identity. j t : ℬ ↪ A is an embedding (t∈ℝ). φ is a State on A . 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.

Relativistic Quantum Particles

Masao Nagasawa

The theory of time reversal and duality of Markov processes was applied to non-relativistic quantum particles in Chapter III. In this chapter we apply the stochastic theory to relativistic quantum particles. We will consider the relativistic Schrödinger equation of a spinless particle in an electromagnetic field. It will be shown that the relativistic quantum particles no longer have continuous paths but move only through pure jumps in contrast to the continuous movement of non-relativistic quantum particles.

Stochastic Differential Equations of Pure-Jumps

Masao Nagasawa

In the preceding chapter we have formulated the equation of motion of relativistic quantum particles as a pair of evolution equations with fractional power generators which are in formal duality, and shown that the evolution equation has an equivalent formulation in terms of stochastic differential equations of pure-jumps. In this chapter the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the stochastic differential equations of pure-jumps will be proved, and then pure-jump Markov processes will be constructed. 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.

Time Reversal Invariance in Quantum Mechanics

Reza Moulavi Ardakani

Symmetries have a crucial role in today's physics. In this thesis, we are mostly concerned with time reversal invariance (T-symmetry). A physical system is time reversal invariant if its underlying laws are not sensitive to the direction of time. There are various accounts of time reversal transformation resulting in different views on whether or not a given theory in physics is time reversal invariant. With a focus on quantum mechanics, I describe the standard account of time reversal and compare it with my alternative account, arguing why it deserves serious attention. Then, I review three known ways to T-violation in quantum mechanics, and explain two unique experiments made to detect it in the neutral K and B mesons.

Quantum Mechanics

Yorick Hardy, Willi-Hans Steeb

In this chapter we introduce the Hilbert space which plays the central role in quantum mechanics. For a more detailed discussion of this subject we refer to the books of Balakrishnan [5], Richtmyer [137], Sewell [146], Stakgold [152], Steeb [163], Weidmann [181], Yosida [185]. Moreover the proofs of the theorems given in this chapter can be found in these books. We assume that the reader is familiar with the notation of a linear space. First we introduce the pre-Hilbert space. 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.
