Abstract

In the strong noise regime, we study the homogeneization of quantum trajectories i.e. stochastic processes appearing in the context of quantum measurement. When the generator of the average semi-group can be separated into three distinct time scales, we start by describing a homogenized limiting semi-group. This result is of independent interest and is formulated outside of the scope of quantum trajectories. Going back to the quantum context, we show that, in the Meyer-Zheng topology, the time-continuous quantum trajectories converge weakly to the discontinuous trajectories of a pure jump Markov process. Notably, this convergence cannot hold in the usual Skorokhod topology.
