Quantum Time Arrows, Semigroups and Time-Reversal in Scattering
Two approaches toward the arrow of time for scattering processes have been proposed in rigged Hilbert space quantum mechanics. One, due to Arno Bohm, involves preparations and registrations in laboratory operations and results in two semigroups oriented in the forward direction of time. The other, employed by the Brussels-Austin group, is more general, involving excitations and de-excitations o...
متن کاملQuantum operation time reversal
The dynamics of an open quantum system can be described by a quantum operation: A linear, complete positive map of operators. Here, I exhibit a compact expression for the time reversal of a quantum operation, which is closely analogous to the time reversal of a classical Markov transition matrix. Since open quantum dynamics are stochastic, and not, in general, deterministic, the time reversal i...
متن کاملTime-reversal invariance and irreversibility in time-asymmetric quantum mechanics
The aim of this paper is to analyze the concepts of time-reversal invariance and irreversibility in the so-called ’time-asymmetric quantum mechanics’. We begin with pointing out the difference between these two concepts. On this basis, we show that irreversibility is not as tightly linked to the semigroup evolution laws of the theory -which lead to its non time-reversal invarianceas usually sug...
متن کاملQuantum separability, time reversal and canonical decompositions
We propose an interpretation of quantum separability based on a physical principle: local time reversal. It immediately leads to a simple characterization of separable quantum states that reproduces results known to hold for binary composite systems and which thereby is complete for low dimensions. We then describe a constructive algorithm for finding the canonical decomposition of separable an...
متن کاملQuantum Random Walks and Time - Reversal
Classical random walks and Markov processes are easily described by Hopf algebras. It is also known that groups and Hopf algebras (quantum groups) lead to classical and quantum diffusions. We study here the more primitive notion of a quantum random walk associated to a general Hopf algebra and show that it has a simple physical interpretation in quantum mechanics. This is by means of a represen...
