Abstract

We consider a repeated quantum interaction model describing a small system \HhS\Hh_S in interaction with each one of the identical copies of the chain N\Cn+1\bigotimes_{\N^*}\C^{n+1}, modeling a heat bath, one after another during the same short time intervals [0,h][0,h]. We suppose that the repeated quantum interaction Hamiltonian is split in two parts: a free part and an interaction part with time scale of order hh. After giving the GNS representation, we establish the relation between the time scale hh and the classical low density limit. We introduce a chemical potential μ\mu related to the time hh as follows: h2=eβμh^2=e^{\beta\mu}. We further prove that the solution of the associated discrete evolution equation converges strongly, when hh tends to 0, to the unitary solution of a quantum Langevin equation directed by Poisson processes.
