QMW-PH-96-17 Linear quantum state di usion for non-Markovian open quantum systems
نویسنده
چکیده
We demonstrate the relevance of complex Gaussian stochastic processes to the stochastic state vector description of non-Markovian open quantum systems. These processes express the general Feynman-Vernon path integral propagator for open quantum systems as the classical ensemble average over stochastic pure state propagators in a natural way. They are the coloured generalization of complexWiener processes in quantum state di usion stochastic Schrodinger equations. 03.65.Bz, 05.40.+j, 42.50.Lc Typeset using REVTEX e-mail: [email protected] 1

Detection of Space-time Fluctuations by a Model Matter Interferometer
In papers on primary state diffusion (Percival 1994, 1995), numerical estimates suggested that fluctuations in the space-time metric on the scale of the Planck time (≈ 10s) could be detected using atom interferometers. In this paper we first specify a stochastic metric obtained from fluctuations that propagate with the velocity of light, and then develop the non-Markovian quantum state diffusio...
متن کاملQuantum chaos in open systems: a quantum state diffusion analysis
Except for the universe, all quantum systems are open, and according to quantum state diffusion theory, many systems localize to wave packets in the neighborhood of phase space points. This is due to decoherence from the interaction with the environment, and makes the quasiclassical limit of such systems both more realistic and simpler in many respects than the more familiar quasiclassical limi...

متن کاملThe non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equation for open systems
We present the non-Markovian generalization of the widely used stochastic Schrödinger equation. Our result allows to describe open quantum systems in terms of stochastic state vectors rather than density operators, without Markov approximation. Moreover, it unifies two recent independent attempts towards a stochastic description of non-Markovian open systems, based on path integrals on the one ...
متن کاملOn non-Markovian Time Evolution in Open Quantum Systems
Non-Markovian reduced dynamics of an open system is investigated. In the case the initial state of the reservoir is the vacuum state, an approximation is introduced which makes possible to construct a reduced dynamics which is completely positive.
