Structure of the Algebra of Effective Observables in Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Physics 2009-11-06 v1

Abstract

A subclass of dynamical semigroups induced by the interaction of a quantum system with an environment is introduced. Such semigroups lead to the selection of a stable subalgebra of effective observables. The structure of this subalgebra is completely determined.
