Quantum Bernoulli noises (QBN, for short) are the family of annihilation and creation operators acting on Bernoulli functionals, which satisfy a canonical anticommutation relation (CAR) in equal-time. In this paper, by using QBN, we first introduce a class of self-adjoint operators acting on Bernoulli functionals, which we call the weighted number operators. We then make clear spectral decompositions of these operators, and establish their commutation relations with the annihilation as well as the creation operators. We also obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a weighted number operator to be bounded. Finally, as application of the above results, we construct a class of quantum Markov semigroups associated with the weighted number operators, which belong to the category of quantum exclusion semigroups. Some basic properties are shown of these quantum Markov semigroups, and examples are also given.
As a unitary quantum walk with infinitely many internal degrees of freedom, the quantum walk in terms of quantum Bernoulli noise (recently introduced by Wang and Ye) shows a rather classical asymptotic behavior, which is quite different from the case of the usual quantum walks with a finite number of internal degrees of freedom. In this paper, we further examine the structure of the walk. By using the Fourier transform on the state space of the walk, we obtain a formula that links the moments of the walk's probability distributions directly with annihilation and creation operators on Bernoulli functionals. We also prove some other results on the structure of the walk. Finally, as an application of these results, we establish a quantum central limit theorem for the annihilation and creation operators themselves.
Stochastic Schrödinger equations are a special type of stochastic evolution equations in complex Hilbert spaces, which arise in the study of open quantum systems. Quantum Bernoulli noises refer to annihilation and creation operators acting on Bernoulli functionals, which satisfy a canonical anti-commutation relation in equal time. In this paper, we investigate a linear stochastic Schrödinger equation of exclusion type in terms of quantum Bernoulli noises. Among others, we prove the well-posedness of the equation, illustrate the results with examples, and discuss the consequences. Our main work extends that of Chen and Wang [J. Math. Phys. 58(5), 053510 (2017)].
In this paper, we consider limit probability distributions of the quantum walk recently introduced by Wang and Ye (C.S. Wang and X.J. Ye, Quantum walk in terms of quantum Bernoulli noises, Quantum Inf. Process. 15 (2016), no. 5, 1897–1908). We first establish several technical theorems, which themselves are also interesting. Then, by using these theorems, we prove that, for a wide range of choices of the initial state, the above-mentioned quantum walk has a limit probability distribution of standard Gauss type, which actually gives a new limit theorem for the walk.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
