چکیده
quantum state diffusion, measurement Quantum state diffusion is a theory which has applications to both the foundations of quantum theory and to the behaviour of open quantum systems, quantum systems interacting with environments. This article is an extended essay review of Quantum State Diffusion the first book [1] on the theory, written by one of its originators, Ian Percival.

Decoherent histories and quantum state diffusion.
We demonstrate a close connection between the decoherent histories (DH) approach to quantum mechanics and the quantum state diffusion (QSD) picture, for open quantum systems described by a master equation of Lindblad form. The (physically unique) set of variables that localize in the QSD picture also define an approximately decoherent set of histories in the DH approach. The degree of localizat...
متن کاملPilot Wave Theory and Quantum Fields
Assignment: One approach to solving the measurement problem in quantum theory proposes that a certain quantity Q is `preferred' in that a quantum system always has a de nite value for it. So Q needs to be chosen so that: 1. its de nite values appropriately explain the de niteness of the macrorealm, and this will presumably involve equations of motion for the values that mesh suitably with the q...
متن کاملInvestigation and Simulation of the Effects of Dispersion and Transmittance angles on the Solar Cells Quantum Efficiency
In this paper the effects of transmittance, dispersion angle and diffusion length on the quantum efficiency of solar cells (QESC) have been simulated and investigated. Optical path technic is used for simulation. The results show that base thickness, diffusion length, dispersion angle, number of optical confinement path and transmission angles have an extremely effects on the QESC. Simulation r...
متن کاملDecoherence effects on quantum Fisher information of multi-qubit W states
Quantum fisher information of a parameter characterizing the sensitivity of a state with respect to parameter changes. In this paper, we study the quantum fisher information of the W state for four, five, six and seven particles in decoherence channels, such as amplitude damping, phase damping and depolarizing channel. Using Krauss operators for decoherence channels components, we investigate t...
متن کاملQuantum tunneling of oxygen atoms on very cold surfaces.
Any evolving system can change state via thermal mechanisms (hopping a barrier) or via quantum tunneling. Most of the time, efficient classical mechanisms dominate at high temperatures. This is why an increase of the temperature can initiate the chemistry. We present here an experimental investigation of O-atom diffusion and reactivity on water ice. We explore the 6-25 K temperature range at su...
