Generators of KMS Symmetric Markov Semigroups on B(h) Symmetry and Quantum Detailed Balance
F. Fagnola,V. Umanitá
Mathematics , 2009, DOI: 10.1007/s00220-010-1011-1
Abstract: We find the structure of generators of norm continuous quantum Markov semigroups on B(h) that are symmetric with respect to the scalar product tr(\rho^{1/2}x\rho^{1/2}y) induced by a faithful normal invariant state invariant state \rho and satisfy two quantum generalisations of the classical detailed balance condition related with this non-commutative notion of symmetry: the so-called standard detailed balance condition and the standard detailed balance condition with an antiunitary time reversal.
Generators of Detailed Balance Quantum Markov Semigroups
Franco Fagnola,Veronica Umanita
Physics , 2007, DOI: 10.1142/S0219025707002762
Abstract: For a quantum Markov semigroup $\T$ on the algebra $\B$ with a faithful invariant state $\rho$, we can define an adjoint $\widetilde{\T}$ with respect to the scalar product determined by $\rho$. In this paper, we solve the open problems of characterising adjoints $\widetilde{\T}$ that are also a quantum Markov semigroup and satisfy the detailed balance condition in terms of the operators $H,L_k$ in the Gorini Kossakowski Sudarshan Lindblad representation $\Ll(x)=i[H,x] - {1/2}\sum_k(L^*_kL_k x-2L^*_kxL_k + xL^*_kL_k)$ of the generator of $\T$. We study the adjoint semigroup with respect to both scalar products $ = \tr(\rho a^* b)$ and $ = \tr(\rho^{1/2} a^* \rho^{1/2}b)$.
Entropy Production for Quantum Markov Semigroups
Franco Fagnola,Rolando Rebolledo
Mathematics , 2012, DOI: 10.1007/s00220-015-2320-1
Abstract: An invariant state of a quantum Markov semigroup is an equilibrium state if it satisfies a quantum detailed balance condition. In this paper, we introduce a notion of entropy production for faithful normal invariant states of a quantum Markov semigroup on B(h) as a numerical index measuring "how much far" they are from equilibrium. The entropy production is defined as the derivative of the relative entropy of the one-step forward and backward evolution in analogy with the classical probabilistic concept. We prove an explicit trace formula expressing the entropy production in terms of the completely positive part of the generator of a norm continuous quantum Markov semigroup showing that it turns out to be zero if and only if a standard quantum detailed balance condition holds.
Restrictions of CP-Semigroups to Maximal Commutative Subalgebras
Franco Fagnola,Michael Skeide
Mathematics , 2007,
Abstract: We give a necessary and sufficient criterion when a normal CP-map on a von Neumann algebra admits a restriction to a maximal commutative subalgebra. We apply this result to give a far reaching generalization of Rebolledo's sufficient criterion for the Lindblad generator of a Markov semigroup on B(G).
On the relationship between a quantum Markov semigroup and its representation via linear stochastic Schroedinger equations
Franco Fagnola,Carlos Mora
Mathematics , 2014,
Abstract: A quantum Markov semigroup can be represented via classical diffusion processes solving a stochastic Schr\"odinger equation. In this paper we first prove that a quantum Markov semigroup is irreducible if and only if classical diffusion processes are total in the Hilbert space of the system. Then we study the relationship between irreducibility of a quantum Markov semigroup and properties of these diffusions such as accessibility, the Lie algebra rank condition, and irreducibility. We prove that all these properties are, in general, weaker than irreducibility of the quantum Markov semigroup, nevertheless, they are equivalent for some important classes of semigroups.
Sufficient Conditions for Conservativity of Minimal Quantum Dynamical Semigroups
Alexander Chebotarev,Franco Fagnola
Mathematics , 1997,
Abstract: The conservativity of a minimal quantum dynamical semigroup is proved whenever there exists a ``reference'' subharmonic operator bounded from below by the dissipative part of the infinitesimal generator. We discuss applications of this criteria in mathematical physics and quantum probability.
Stochastic Schroedinger equations and applications to Ehrenfest-type theorems
Franco Fagnola,Carlos M. Mora
Statistics , 2012,
Abstract: We study stochastic evolution equations describing the dynamics of open quantum systems. First, using resolvent approximations, we obtain a sufficient condition for regularity of solutions to linear stochastic Schroedinger equations driven by cylindrical Brownian motions applying to many physical systems. Then, we establish well-posedness and norm conservation property of a wide class of open quantum systems described in position representation. Moreover, we prove Ehrenfest-type theorems that describe the evolution of the mean value of quantum observables in open systems. Finally, we give a new criterion for existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to non-linear stochastic Schroedinger equations. We apply our results to physical systems such as fluctuating ion traps and quantum measurement processes of position.
Quantum Fokker-Planck models: the Lindblad and Wigner approaches
Anton Arnold,Franco Fagnola,Lukas Neumann
Mathematics , 2008,
Abstract: In this article we try to bridge the gap between the quantum dynamical semigroup and Wigner function approaches to quantum open systems. In particular we study stationary states and the long time asymptotics for the quantum Fokker-Planck equation. Our new results apply to open quantum systems in a harmonic confinement potential, perturbed by a (large) sub-quadratic term.
Structure of Uniformly Continuous Quantum Markov Semigroups
Julien Deschamps,Franco Fagnola,Emanuela Sasso,Veronica Umanita'
Physics , 2014,
Abstract: The structure of uniformly continuous quantum Markov semigroups with atomic decoherence-free subalgebra is established providing a naturaldecomposition of a Markovian open quantum system into its noiseless (decoherence-free) and irreducible (ergodic) components. This leads to a new characterisation of the structure of invariant states and a new method for finding decoherence-free subsystems and subspaces. Examples are presented to illustrate these results.
Maximal Commutative Subalgebras Invariant for CP-Maps: (Counter-)Examples
B. V. Rajarama Bhat,Franco Fagnola,Michael Skeide
Mathematics , 2008, DOI: 10.1142/S0219025708003269
Abstract: We solve, mainly by counterexamples, many natural questions regarding maximal commutative subalgebras invariant under CP-maps or semigroups of CP-maps on a von Neumann algebra. In particular, we discuss the structure of the generators of norm continuous semigroups on B(G) leaving a maximal commutative subalgebra invariant and show that there exists Markov CP-semigroups on M_d without invariant maximal commutative subalgebras for any d>2.
