چکیده
The stochastic dissipative Schrödinger equation is derived for an open quantum system consisting of a sub-system able to exchange energy with a thermal reservoir. The resultant evolution of the wave function also gives the evolution of the density matrix, which is an explicit, stochastic form of the Lindblad master equation. A quantum fluctuation-dissipation theorem is also derived. The time correlation function is discussed.

The non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equation for the position unraveling
An important and well established area of quantum optics is the theory of Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equations (or by another name quantum trajectory theory). Recently stochastic Schrödinger equations have been developed for non-Markovian systems. In this paper we extend the current known stochastic Schrödinger equations for non-Markovian systems to include the position unraveling. We als...
متن کاملStructure and Properties of Hughston’s Stochastic Extension of the Schrödinger Equation
Hughston has recently proposed a stochastic extension of the Schrödinger equation, expressed as a stochastic differential equation on projective Hilbert space. We derive new projective Hilbert space identities, which we use to give a general proof that Hughston’s equation leads to state vector collapse to energy eigenstates, with collapse probabilities given by the quantum mechanical probabilit...

متن کاملThe Quantum Stochastic Differential Equation Is Unitarily Equivalent to a Symmetric Boundary Value Problem for the Schrödinger Equation
We prove that the solution of the Hudson–Parthasarathy quantum stochastic differential equation in the Fock space coincides with the solution of a symmetric boundary value problem for the Schrödinger equation in the interaction representation generated by the energy operator of the environment. The boundary conditions describe the jumps in the phase and the amplitude of the Fourier transforms o...
متن کاملExistence, Uniqueness and Approximation of a Stochastic Schrödinger Equation: the Poisson Case
In quantum physics, recent investigations deal with the so-called ”quantum trajectory” theory. Heuristic rules are usually used to give rise to “stochastic Schrödinger equations” which are stochastic differential equations of non-usual type describing the physical models. These equations pose tedious problems in terms of mathematical and physical justifications: notion of solution, existence, u...
