On time-reversal and space-time harmonic processes for Markovian quantum channels

Quantum Physics 2009-04-29 v2

Abstract

The time reversal of a completely-positive, nonequilibrium discrete-time quantum Markov evolution is derived via a suitable adjointness relation. Space-time harmonic processes are introduced for the forward and reverse-time transition mechanisms, and their role for relative entropy dynamics is discussed.
