Quantum mechanics can be formulated in terms of phase-space functions, according to Wigner's approach. A generalization of this approach consists in replacing the density operators of the standard formulation with suitable functions, the…
We describe a Markov dilation for any weak* continuous semigroup $(T_t)_{t \geq 0}$ of selfadjoint unital completely positive Fourier multipliers acting on the group von Neumann algebra $\mathrm{VN}(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$.
The quantum nature of gravity remains experimentally unverified, despite recent proposals to probe it using tabletop experiments such as gravity-mediated entanglement schemes. In parallel, consistent formulations of classical--quantum…
We show that the discrete-time evolution of an open quantum system generated by a single quantum channel $T$ can be embedded in the discrete-time evolution of an enlarged closed quantum system, i.e. we construct a unitary dilation of the…
In this paper, we systematically study generalized Markov numbers arising from semigroups of reduced integer matrices. This construction allows us to find these numbers by counting perfect matchings of a new family of bipartite graphs,…
The interaction of quantum emitters with structured baths modifies both their individual and collective dynamics. In Gonz\'alez-Tudela \emph{et al} we show how exotic quantum dynamics emerge when QEs are spectrally tuned around the middle…
Let (X,d) be a locally compact separable ultra-metric space. Given a reference measure \mu\ on X and a step length distribution on the non-negative reals, we construct a symmetric Markov semigroup P^t acting in L^2(X,\mu). We study the…
The aim of this paper is to study some continuous-time bivariate Markov processes arising from group representation theory. The first component (level) can be either discrete (quasi-birth-and-death processes) or continuous (switching…
We study a collection of discrete Markov chains related to the causal set approach to modeling discrete theories of quantum gravity. The transition probabilities of these chains satisfy a general covariance principle, a causality principle,…
We find a combinatorial formula for the Haar functional of the orthogonal and unitary quantum groups. As an application, we consider diagonal coefficients of the fundamental representation, and we investigate their spectral measures.
The problem of characterizing GKLS-generators and CP-maps with an invariant appeared in different guises in the literature. We prove two unifying results which hold even for weakly closed *-algebras: First, we show how to construct a normal…
This survey article gives an elementary introduction to the algebraic approach to Markov process duality, as opposed to the pathwise approach. In the algebraic approach, a Markov generator is written as the sum of products of simpler…
Group representations play a central role in theoretical physics. In particular, in quantum mechanics unitary --- or, in general, projective unitary --- representations implement the action of an abstract symmetry group on physical states…
We give locally finite Markov trees in $L^p$-compact$,$ separable Hilbert$,$ supersymmetric process$:$ $[0,\infty)\!\times\!\mathbb{R}^{\lvert\mathcal{A}^{\otimes m}\rvert}/\mathcal{A}^{\otimes m}$ on quantum ${\rm…
Using the Trotter-Kato theorem we prove the convergence of the unitary dynamics generated by an increasingly singular Hamiltonian in the case of a single field coupling. The limit dynamics is a quantum stochastic evolution of…
Using the age-structure formalism, we definitely establish connections between semi-Markov processes and the dynamics of open quantum systems that satisfy the Markov quantum master equations. A generalized Feynman-Kac formula of the…
Results of quasi-classical molecular dynamics simulations of the quantum electron gas are reported. Quantum effects corresponding to the Pauli and the Heisenberg principle are modeled by an effective momentum-dependent Hamiltonian. The…
We prove that any weak* continuous semigroup $(T_t)_{t \geq 0}$ of Markov Fourier multipliers acting on a group von Neumann algebra $\mathrm{VN}(G)$ associated to a locally compact group $G$ can be dilated by a weak* continuous group of…
Ontological theories of quantum mechanics describe a single system by means of well-defined classical variables and attribute the quantum uncertainties to our ignorance about the underlying reality represented by these variables. We…
We generalize the notion of weakly mixing unitary representations to locally compact quantum groups, introducing suitable extensions of all standard characterizations of weak mixing to this setting. These results are used to complement the…
