Interacting Stochastic Schrödinger Equation

Lu Zhang, Caishi Wang, Jinshu Chen

Being the annihilation and creation operators on the space h of square integrable Bernoulli functionals, quantum Bernoulli noises (QBN) satisfy the canonical anti-commutation relation (CAR) in equal time. Let K be the Hilbert space of an open quantum system interacting with QBN (the environment). Then K⊗h just describes the coupled quantum system. In this paper, we introduce and investigate an interacting stochastic Schrödinger equation (SSE) in the framework K⊗h, which might play a role in describing the evolution of the open quantum system interacting with QBN (the environment). We first prove some technical propositions about operators in K⊗h. In particular, we obtain the spectral decomposition of the tensor operator IK⊗N, where IK means the identity operator on K and N is the number operator in h, and give a representation of IK⊗N in terms of operators IK⊗∂k*∂k, k≥0, where ∂k and ∂k* are the annihilation and creation operators on h, respectively. Based on these technical propositions as well as Mora and Rebolledo’s results on a general SSE, we show that under some mild conditions, our interacting SSE has a unique solution admitting some regularity properties. Some other results are also proven.

Open quantum system approach for heavy quark thermalization*

Zhuoxuan Xie, Baoyi Chen

Abstract We treat heavy quark as an open quantum system in a hot medium and rederive the stochastic Schrödinger equation (SSE) from the full Schrödinger equation for both heavy quarks and the medium. We apply the SSE to the dynamical evolutions of a heavy quark (as a system) in the static hot medium (as an environment). Heavy quarks interact with the medium via random scatterings, which exchange the momentum and phase factor randomly between two wave functions of the system and the environment. The exchange of momentum and phase factor results in the transition between different eigenstates of the system. These are included via an external stochastic potential in the Hamiltonian of SSE. Stochastic wave functions of a heavy quark are evolved with the stochastic external potential. The mean wave functions and corresponding momentum distributions of heavy quarks are obtained after the ensemble average over a large set of stochastic wave functions. We present the thermalization of heavy quarks in the static medium with different coupling strengths.

Stochastic Schrödinger equations

Luc Bouten, Mădălin Guţǎ, Hans Maassen

A derivation of Belavkin's stochastic Schrödinger equations is given using quantum filtering theory. We study an open system in contact with its environment, the electromagnetic field. Continuous observation of the field yields information on the system: it is possible to keep track in real time of the best estimate of the system's quantum state given the observations made. This estimate satisfies a stochastic Schrödinger equation, which can be derived from the quantum stochastic differential equation for the interaction picture evolution of system and field together. Throughout the paper we focus on the basic example of resonance fluorescence.
