    Conditioning of Quantum Open Systems

    The underlying probabilistic theory for quantum mechanics is non-Kolmogorovian. The time-order in which physical observables are measured will be important if they are incompatible (non-commuting). In particul...

    A Trotter-Kato theorem for quantum Markov limits

    Using the Trotter-Kato theorem we prove the convergence of the unitary dynamics generated by an increasingly singular Hamiltonian in the case of a single field coupling. The limit dynamics is a quantum stochas...

    Singular Perturbation of Quantum Stochastic Differential Equations with Coupling Through an Oscillator Mode

    We consider a physical system which is coupled indirectly to a Markovian resevoir through an oscillator mode. This is the case, for example, in the usual model of an atomic sample in a leaky optical cavity whi...

    Quantum Flows as Markovian Limit of Emission, Absorption and Scattering Interactions

    We consider a Markovian approximation, of weak coupling type, to an open system perturbation involving emission, absorption and scattering by reservoir quanta. The result is the general form for a quantum stoc...

    Stochastic Schrödinger Equations as Limit of Discrete Filtering

    We consider an open model possessing a Markovian quantum stochastic limit and derive the limit stochastic Schrödinger equations for the wave function conditioned on indirect observations using only the von Neu...

    Holevo-Ordering and the Continuous-Time Limit for Open Floquet Dynamics

    We consider an atomic beam reservoir as a source of quantum noise. The atoms are modelled as two-state systems and interact one-at-a-time with the system. The Floquet operators are described in terms of the Fe...

    Stochastic Canonical Flows

    There has been some opposition to the use of Markov processes in quantum mechanics based upon the fact that no quantum mechanical regression principle can be applied. It is argued here however that one may jus...

    Opinion: ‘Learning Technologies’? ‘Convergent Technologies’? What Do These Mean?

    Sometimes in curriculum development, and everyday usage, a new term, or new piece of jargon, springs into common use, and everyone seems to know what it means, yet no one can give a clear definition of just wh...

    The Stratonovich Interpretation of Quantum Stochastic Approximations

    The Stratonovich version of non-commutative stochastic calculus is introduced and shown to be equivalent to the Itô version developed by Hudson and Parthasarathy [1]. The conversion from Stratonovich to Itô ve...

    Quantum Stochastic Linearization of Multi-Linear Interactions

    The weak coupling limit for a quantum system, with discrete spectrum, in interaction with a quantum field reservoir is considered. Depending on the nature of the reservoir (i.e. bosonic or fermionic) and the d...

    Type test elimination using typeflow analysis

    Programs written in languages of the Oberon family usually contain runtime tests on the dynamic type of variables. In some cases it may be desirable to reduce the number of such tests. Typeflow analysis is a stat...
