A quantum stochastic model for the Markovian dynamics of an open system under the nondemolition unsharp observation which is continuous in time, is given. A stochastic equation for the posterior evolution of a 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 case of a quasi-free Hamiltonian in the initial CCR algebra with a linear output…

Stochastic Dynamics of Continuously Observed Quantum Systems

The irreversible and stochastic behaviour of the continuously (in time) observed quantum system expressed by the reduction of the wave function cannot be described within the standard formulation of…

Quantum stochastic differential equation for unstable systems

A semiclassical non-Hamiltonian model of a spontaneous collapse of unstable quantum system is given. The time evolution of the system becomes non-Hamiltonian at random instants of transition of pure…

The physical idea of a continual observation on a quantum system has been recently formalized by means of the concept of operation valued stochastic process (OVSP). In this article, it is shown how…

Nondemolition observation of a free quantum particle.

It is shown that the dispersion of the wave packet does not increase to in½nity like for the free unobserved particle but tends to the …nite limit 1 = (~=2 m) where is the accuracy coe¢ cient of an indirect nondemolition measurement of the particle position, and ~ is Planck constant.

Measurements continuous in time and a posteriori states in quantum mechanics

Markov processes in Hilbert space and continuous spontaneous localization of systems of identical particles.

Stochastic differential equations describing the Markovian evolution of state vectors in the quantum Hilbert space are studied as possible expressions of a universal dynamical principle and the stochastic evolution is proved to induce continuous dynamical reduction of the state vector onto mutually orthogonal subspaces.
