Abstract

The Quantum Stochastic Limit of a quantum mechanical particle coupled to a quantum field without the neglect of the response details of the interaction (i.e., not making the dipole approximation) is made following the scheme of Accardi and Lu and the corresponding Quantum Stochastic Structure is derived. The stochastic sector for the noise is constructed and is shown to be of a qualitatively new type. We also include a physical discussion on the limit noise which obeys Interacting-Free statistics and include a new shorter proof of the noise convergence and also a new construction of Interacting-Free Fock Space.

The Free Stochastic Limit of Interacting Quantum Fields

John Edward Gough

The problem of obtaining the quantum stochastic limit for a system interacting with a reservoir is investigated when both are considered as quantum fields. The pre-limit fields are as encountered in standard quantum field theory and in particular we do not resort to the simplifying responseless interaction for the reservoir field. In the separation of time scales between the unperturbed (slow) and interaction (fast) dynamics we find a new quantum stochastic noise emerging which describes multi-particle scatterings and has extended free statistics. We give explicit diagrammatic rules to compute the 2n-point correlators of the noise.

q-Deformation and Free Statistics for Interaction of a Field and a Particle

Sergei Vladimirovich Kozyrev

Abstract Emerging of free (or quantum Boltzmann) statistics for a model of quantum particle interacting with quantum field is described in the stochastic limit without dipole approximation. The quantum field is considered in a Gaussian (for example temperature) state. Entangled operators which describe interaction of the field and the particle satisfy the $$q$$ -deformed relations which in the stochastic limit generate free statistics.

QUANTUM MULTIPOLE NOISE AND GENERALIZED QUANTUM STOCHASTIC EQUATIONS

Alexander Nikolaevich Pechen, Igor Vasil'evich Volovich

A notion of quantum multipole (in particular, dipole) noise is considered. Quantum dipole noise is an analogue of quantum white noise but it acts in a Fock space with indefinite metric. Quantum white noise describes the leading term in the stochastic limit approximation to quantum dynamics while quantum multipole noise describes the corrections to the leading term. We obtain and study the generalized quantum stochastic equations describing corrections to the stochastic limit which include quantum dipole noise.

Stochastic Processes: From Classical to Quantum

Soon Hoe Lim

The main goal of these notes is to give an introduction to the mathematics of quantum noise and some of its applications in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We start with some reminders from the theory of classical stochastic processes. We then provide a brief overview of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, from the viewpoint of quantum probability and adopting the language of Hudson and Parthasarathy. We introduce quantum stochastic processes on a boson Fock space and their calculus. Whenever possible, we make connections with the relevant concepts in classical probability theory. As an application of the theory, we introduce the theory of open quantum systems, with emphasis on the physics and modeling aspects of these systems.

The weak coupling limit for quadratic interaction

Yun Gang Lu

The weak coupling limit of a ‘‘system+reservoir’’ model with nonlinear (quadratic) interaction is discussed. In a previous paper [Accardi and Lu, Stoch. Process. Phys. Geom., 1–26], it has been shown that, if the matrix elements of the van Hove rescaled evolution are taken with respect to the same collective vectors used for linear interactions, then the limiting evolution is not unitary. In the present paper, we choose a new type of collective vectors and obtain, in the weak coupling limit, a unitary evolution satisfying a quantum stochastic differential equation. A remarkable feature of the limiting process is that the quadratic nature of the interaction shows up in a nontrivial choice of the Hilbert space where the limiting quantum noise takes its values, which is qualitatively new with respect to all the models considered up to now.

Quantum random walks and their convergence

Lingaraj Sahu

Using coordinate-free basic operators on toy Fock spaces \cite{AP}, quantum random walks are defined following the ideas in \cite{LP,AP}. Strong convergence of quantum random walks associated with bounded structure maps is proved under suitable assumptions, extendings the result obtained in \cite{KBS} in case of one dimensional noise. To handle infinite dimensional noise we have used the coordinate-free language of quantum stochastic calculus developed in \cite{GS1}.
