From quantum master equation to random walk

C. F. Huang

Published Nov 2, 2001• 0 citations
arXivHTMLPDF

Abstract

It is shown in this paper that the quantum master equation can be mapped to a modified continuous time random walk (CTRW) if the relaxation term is composed of transitions over a set of states. When the Hamiltonian is time-independent and transitions are between its eigenlevels, such a modified CTRW reduces to the Markovian walk equivalent to the Pauli master equation. On the other hand, the memory in such a modified CTRW is composed of a temporal factor and the probability determined by the Liouville flow when the relaxation term is reduced as a special dephasing term.

From quantum theory to classical dynamics under the reduction of wave packets

C. F. Huang

A quantum master equation of the Lindblad form is obtained in this paper by considering the reduction of wave packets. Different classical equations are derived after exactly mapping such a quantum master equation to a continuous time random walk (CTRW). Although this CTRW is a quasiclassical walk, the effects due to the quantum interference can still be important in such a walk. It is shown that macroscopically we shall consider the uncertainty of the potential and determine the effective kernel (transition probability) of this CTRW by a family of Schr\\"{o}dinger equations (or operators).

Continuous time random walks modeling of quantum measurement and fractional equations of quantum stochastic filtering and control

Vassili Nikitich Kolokoltsov

Initially developed in the framework of quantum stochastic calculus, the main equations of quantum stochastic filtering were later on derived as the limits of Markov models of discrete measurements under appropriate scaling. In many branches of modern physics it became popular to extend random walk modeling to the continuous time random walk (CTRW) modeling, where the time between discrete events is taken to be non-exponential. In the present paper we apply the CTRW modeling to the continuous quantum measurements yielding the new fractional in time evolution equations of quantum filtering and thus new fractional equations of quantum mechanics of open systems. The related quantum control problems and games turn out to be described by the fractional Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equations on Riemannian manifolds. By-passing we provide a full derivation of the standard quantum filtering equations, in a modified way as compared with existing texts, which (i) provides explicit rates of convergence (that are not available via the tightness of martingales approach developed previously) and (ii) allows for the direct applications of the basic results of CTRWs to deduce the final fractional filtering equations.

Quantum Continuous Time Random Walk Model

Sushanta Dattagupta

The continuous time random walk (CTRW) framework (Montroll and Weiss 1965, Montroll and Scher 1973) was described in our earlier Chapters 6 through 9. The CTRW scheme is conceptually appealing and at the same time mathematically flexible to facilitate incorporation of various generalizations. Thus, although CTRW is usually set in the context of a Poisson processdriven pulse sequence leading to stationary Markov systems, incorporation of non-Poissonian pulsing with concomitant waiting-time distributions was seen in Chapter 7 to yield anomalous diffusion.

Markovian approximation for Pauli Fierz operators

Laurent Amour, Jean Nourrigat

The purpose of this article is to derive a Markovian approximation of the reduced time dynamics of observables for the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian with a precise control of the error terms. In that aim, we define a Lindblad operator associated to the corresponding quantum master equation. In a particular case, this allows to study the transition probability matrix.
