Continuous quantum measurement in spin environments

We derive a formalism of stochastic master equations (SME) which describes the decoherence dynamics of a system in spin environments conditioned on the measurement record. Markovian and non-Markovian nature of environment can be revealed by a spectroscopy method based on weak quantum measurement (weak spectroscopy). On account of that correlated environments can lead to a nonlocal open system w...

Performance Measurement in Dynamic Environments

There has not been a uniform agreement regarding what constitutes “good” performance for evolutionary algorithms in dynamic environments. A performance measurement method should, as a minimum, have an intuitive meaning and provide straightforward methods for statistical significance testing of comparative results. In this paper we attempt to resolve some issues related to EA performance measure...
