Kolmogorov decomposition for a given completely positive definite kernel is a generalization of Paschke's GNS construction for the completely positive map. Using Kolmogorov decomposition, to every quantum dynamical semigroup (QDS) for…
This is a review paper concerned with the global consistency of the quantum dynamics of non-commutative systems. Our point of departure is the theory of constrained systems, since it provides a unified description of the classical and…
The mathematical possibility of coupling two quantum dynamic systems having two different Planck constants, respectively, is investigated. It turns out that such canonical dynamics are always irreversible. Semiclassical dynamics is obtained…
We use spectral projections of time operator in the Liouville space for simple quantum scattering systems in order to define a space of unstable particle states evolving under a contractive semi-group. This space includes purely…
The goal of this presentation is to highlight various computational techniques used to study dynamics of quantum many-body systems. We examine the projection and variable phase methods being applied to multi-channel problems of scattering…
We consider complete positivity of dynamics regarding subsystems of an open composite quantum system, which is subject of a completely positive dynamics. By "completely positive dynamics", we assume the dynamical maps called the completely…
The Koopman-von Neumann (KvN) formalism recasts classical mechanics in a Hilbert space framework using complex wavefunctions and linear operators, akin to quantum mechanics. Instead of evolving probability densities in phase space (as in…
A framework to describe a broad class of physical operations (including unitary transformations, dissipation, noise, and measurement) in a quantum optics experiment is given. This framework provides a powerful tool for assessing the…
We show that dissipative transport and renormalization can be described in a single theoretical framework. The appropriate mathematical tool is the Nakajima-Zwanzig projection technique. We illustrate our result in the case of interacting…
In its most general formulation a quantum kinematical system is described by a Heisenberg group; the "configuration space" in this case corresponds to a maximal isotropic subgroup. We study irreducible models for Heisenberg groups based on…
A characterisation of the stochastic bounded generators of quantum irreversible Master equations is given. This suggests the general form of quantum stochastic evolution with respect to the Poisson (jumps), Wiener (diffusion) or general…
We generalize the result of Gorini, Kossakowski, and Sudarshan [J. Math. Phys. 17:821, 1976] that every generator of a quantum-dynamical semigroup decomposes uniquely into a closed and a dissipative part, assuming the trace of both…
We consider a model dissipative quantum-mechanical system realized by coupling a quantum oscillator to a semi-infinite classical string which serves as a means of energy transfer from the oscillator to the infinity and thus plays the role…
Von Neumann projections are the main operations by which information can be extracted from the quantum to the classical realm. They are however static processes that do not adapt to the states they measure. Advances in the field of adaptive…
An assessment is given as to the extent to which pure unitary evolution, as distinct from environmental decohering interaction, can provide the transition necessary for an observer to interpret perceived quantum dynamics as classical. This…
Exact and nonperturbative quantum master equation can be constructed via the calculus on path integral. It results in hierarchical equations of motion for the reduced density operator. Involved are also a set of well--defined auxiliary…
We outline an approach that streamlines considerably the construction and analysis of well-behaved nonlinear quantum dynamics, with completely positive extensions to entangled systems. A few notes are added on the issue of quantum…
We propose an anharmonic oscillator driven by two periodic forces of different frequencies as a new time-dependent model for investigating quantum dissipative chaos. Our analysis is done in the frame of statistical ensemble of quantum…
We derive a uniform bound for the difference of two contractive semigroups, if the difference of their generators is form-bounded by the Hermitian parts of the generators themselves. We construct a semigroup dynamics for second order…
The dynamics of an open quantum system can be fully described and tomographically reconstructed if the experimenter has complete control over the system of interest. Most real-world experiments do not fulfill this assumption, and the amount…
