This chapter explores accurate formulation of the approach, including a description of the evolution of the measured system and the generalized unitarity condition for this evolution. It argues that evolution under continuous measurement has both quantum and classical features. The chapter deals with the evolution of the system subject to continuous measurement. It demonstrates in general form and considers the specific example of a free particle scattered because its position is measured. The quantum theory of measurements has been discussed not only because of its conceptual interest but also for practical purposes. The chapter discusses the application of the measurement amplitude for estimation of probabilities of different measurement outputs. However, the same amplitude can be used to describe the evolution of the system subject to the measurement. The chapter shows the continuous measurement changes the evolution of the quantum system undergoing the measurement.This chapter explores accurate formulation of the approach, including a description of the evolution of the measured system and the generalized unitarity condition for this evolution.

Quantum dynamics under simultaneous and continuous measurement of noncommutative observables

Chao Jiang, Gentaro Watanabe A

We consider simultaneous and continuous measurement of two noncommutative observables of the system whose commutator is not necessarily a $c$ -number. We revisit the Arthurs-Kelly model and generalize it to describe the simultaneous measurement of two arbitrary observables of the system. Using this generalized model, we continuously measure the system by following the scheme proposed by Scott and Milburn [Scott and Milburn, Phys. Rev. A 63, 042101 (2001)]. We find that the unconditioned master equation reduces to the Lindblad form in the continuous limit. In addition, we find that the master equation does not contain a cross term of these two measurements. Finally, we propose a scheme to prepare the state of a two-level system in an external field by feedback control based on the simultaneous, continuous measurement of the two observables.We consider simultaneous and continuous measurement of two noncommutative observables of the system whose commutator is not necessarily a $c$-number.
