Approximate quantum Markov chains
This chapter reviews the concept of a Markov chain for random variables and then introduces a generalization to quantummechanical systems. We discuss the subtle differences between classical and quantumMarkov chains and point out difficulties that show up in the quantum case. Unlike the classical case that has been analyzed and understood well in the past, certain aspects of quantumMarkov chain...
متن کاملQuantum Markov Chains
A new approach to quantum Markov chains is presented. We first define a transition operation matrix (TOM) as a matrix whose entries are completely positive maps whose column sums form a quantum operation. A quantum Markov chain is defined to be a pair (G, E) where G is a directed graph and E = [Eij ] is a TOM whose entry Eij labels the edge from vertex j to vertex i. We think of the vertices of...
متن کاملDiscrete Quantum Markov Chains
A framework for finite-dimensional quantum Markov chains on Hilbert spaces is introduced. Quantum Markov chains generalize both classical Markov chains with possibly hidden states and existing models of quantum walks on finite graphs. Quantum Markov chains are based on Markov operations that may be applied to quantum systems and include quantum measurements, for example. It is proved that quant...
متن کاملEmpirical Bayes Estimation in Nonstationary Markov chains
Estimation procedures for nonstationary Markov chains appear to be relatively sparse. This work introduces empirical Bayes estimators for the transition probability matrix of a finite nonstationary Markov chain. The data are assumed to be of a panel study type in which each data set consists of a sequence of observations on N>=2 independent and identically dis...
متن کاملRobustness of quantum Markov chains
If the conditional information of a classical probability distribution of three random variables is zero, then it obeys a Markov chain condition. If the conditional information is close to zero, then it is known that the distance (minimum relative entropy) of the distribution to the nearest Markov chain distribution is precisely the conditional information. We prove here that this simple situat...
