The stochastic theory of non-relativistic quantum mechanics presented here relies heavily upon the theory of stochastic processes, with its definitions, theorems and specific vocabulary as well. Its main hypothesis states indeed that the…

We characterize a class of superclassical non-Markovian open quantum system dynamics that are defined by their lack of measurement invasiveness when the corresponding observable commutates with the pre-measurement state. This diagonal…

A Markovian process of a system is defined classically as a process in which the future state of the system is fully determined by only its present state, not by its previous history. There have been several measures of non-Markovianity to…
