Quantum Continual Measurements and a Posteriori Collapse on Ccr
نویسنده
چکیده
A quantum theory for the Markovian dynamics of an open system under the unsharp observation which is continuous in time, is developed within the CCR stochastic approach. A stochastic classical equation for the posterior evolution of quantum continuously observed system is derived and the spontaneous collapse (stochastically continuous reduction of the wave packet) is described. The quantum Langevin evolution equation is solved for the general linear case of a quasi–free Hamiltonian in the initial CCR algebra with a fixed output observable field, and the posterior Kalman dynamics coresponding to an initial Gaussian state is found. It is shown for an example of the posterior dynamics of quantum unstable open system that any mixed state under a complete nondemolition measurement collapses exponentially to a pure Gaussian one.

Entropy and information gain in quantum continual measurements
The theory of measurements continuous in time in quantum mechanics (quantum continual measurements) has been formulated by using the notions of instrument, positive operator valued (POV) measure, etc. [1, 2], by using quantum stochastic differential equations [3, 4] and by using classical stochastic differential equations (SDE’s) for vectors in Hilbert spaces or for trace-class operators [5, 6,...
متن کاملEventum Mechanics of Quantum Trajectories: Continual Measurements, Quantum Predictions and Feedback Control
Quantum mechanical systems exhibit an inherently probabilistic nature upon measurement which excludes in principle the singular direct observability continual case. Quantum theory of time continuous measurements and quantum prediction theory, developed by the author on the basis of an independent-increment model for quantum noise and nondemolition causality principle in the 80’s, solves this pr...
متن کاملA Stochastic Hamiltonian Approach for Quantum Jumps, Spontaneous Localizations, and Continuous Trajectories
We give an explicit stochastic Hamiltonian model of discontinuous unitary evolution for quantum spontaneous jumps like in a system of atoms in quantum optics, or in a system of quantum particles that interacts singularly with " bubbles " which admit a continual counting observation. This model allows to watch a quantum trajectory in a photodetector or in a cloud chamber by spontaneous localisat...

The theory of measurements continuous in time in quantum mechanics (quantum continual measurements) has been formulated by using the notions of instrument and positive operator valued measure [1]-[6] arisen inside the operational approach [1, 7] to quantum mechanics, by using functional integrals [8, 9, 10], by using quantum stochastic differential equations [11]-[23] and by using classical sto...
متن کاملOn the Asymptotic Behaviour of Some Stochastic Differential Equations for Quantum States
In this article we study the long time behaviour of a class of stochastic differential equations introduced in the theory of measurements continuous in time for quantum open systems. Such equations give the time evolution of the a posteriori states for a system underlying a continual measurement. First of all we give conditions for the equation to preserve pure states and then, in the case of a...
