On the Generators of Quantum Stochastic Master Equation

Abstract

A characterisation of the stochastic bounded generators of quantum irreversible Master equations is given. This suggests the general form of quantum stochastic evolution with respect to the Poisson (jumps), Wiener (diffusion) or general Quantum Noise. The corresponding irreversible Heisenberg evolution in terms of stochastic completely positive (CP) maps is found and the general form of the stochastic completely dissipative (CD) operator equation is discovered.

On the General Form of Quantum Stochastic Evolution Equation

V. P. Belavkin

A characterisation of the quantum stochastic bounded generators of irreversible quantum state evolutions is given. This suggests the general form of quantum stochastic evolution equation with respect to the Poisson (jumps), Wiener (diffusion) or general Quantum Noise. The corresponding irreversible Heisenberg evolution in terms of stochastic completely positive (CP) cocycles is also characterized and the general form of the stochastic completely dissipative (CD) operator equation is discovered.

On Stochastic Generators of Completely Positive Cocycles

V. P. Belavkin

A characterisation of the generators of quantum stochastic cocycles of completely positive (CP) maps is given in terms of the complete dissipativity (CD) of its form-generator. The pseudo-Hilbert dilation of the stochastic form-generator and the pre-Hilbert dilation of the corresponding dissipator is found. The general form of the linear continuous structural maps for the algebra of all bounded operators is derived and the quantum stochastic flow for the corresponding cocycle is outlined. It is proved that any w*-analytical bounded CD form-generator give rise to a quantum stochastic CP cocycle over a von Neumann algebra.

Stochastic Schrödinger Equations for Quantum Reverse Diffusion

Einar Gabbassov

The ensemble-averaged dynamics of open quantum systems are typically irreversible. We show that this irreversibility need not hold at the level of individually monitored quantum trajectories. Our main results are analytical stochastic Schrödinger equations for quantum reverse diffusion, along with corresponding stochastic master equations. These equations describe the exact and approximate stochastic reverse processes for continuously monitored Pauli channels, including time-dependent depolarizing noise. We show that the reverse processes generalize the forward dynamics by combining the noise effects of the forward processes with an additional stochastic drift that dynamically steers a quantum state back to its initial configuration. Consequently, the exact reverse stochastic Schrödinger equations admit closed-form solutions that can be implemented in real-time without the need for variational techniques. Our findings establish an analytical framework for quantum state recovery, noise-resilient quantum gates, quantum generative modelling, quantum tomography via forward-reverse cycles, and potential paradigms for quantum error correction based on reverse diffusion.

Diffusion approximation of stochastic master equations with jumps

Clément Pellegrini, Francesco Petruccione

In the presence of quantum measurements with direct photon detection the evolution of open quantum systems is usually described by stochastic master equations with jumps. Heuristically, diffusion models can be obtained from these equations as approximation. A condition for a general diffusion approximation for jump master equations is presented. This approximation is rigorously proved by using techniques for Markov processes which are based upon the convergence of Markov generators and martingale problems. This result is illustrated by rigorously obtaining the diffusion approximation for homodyne and heterodyne detection.

Positive Definite Germs of Quantum Stochastic Processes

V. P. Belavkin

A new notion of stochastic germs for quantum processes is introduced and a characterisation of the stochastic differentials for positive definite (PD) processes is found in terms of their germs for arbitrary Ito algebra. A representation theorem, giving the pseudo-Hilbert dilation for the germ-matrix of the differential, is proved. This suggests the general form of quantum stochastic evolution equations with respect to the Poisson (jumps), Wiener (diffusion) or general quantum noise.
