Stochastic Schrödinger equations with coloured noise

A natural non-Markovian extension of the theory of white noise quantum trajectories is presented. In order to introduce memory effects in the formalism an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck coloured noise is considered as the output driving process. Under certain conditions a random Hamiltonian evolution is recovered. Moreover, non-Markovian stochastic Schrodinger equations which unravel non-Markovian master equations are derived. As a prototypical example, an harmonic oscillator is considered, able to emit light and with memory terms in the dynamics. The signature of the non-Markovian dynamics is seen in the spectrum of the emitted light.

Non-Markovian quantum repeated interactions and measurements

A non-Markovian model of quantum repeated interactions between a small quantum system and an infinite chain of quantum systems is presented. By adapting and applying usual projection operator techniques in this context, discrete versions of the integro-differential and time-convolutionless master equations for the reduced system are derived. Next, an intuitive and rigorous description of the indirect quantum measurement principle is developed and a discrete non-Markovian stochastic master equation for the open system is obtained. Finally, the question of unravelling in a particular model of non-Markovian quantum interactions is discussed.

Stability of continuous-time quantum filters with measurement imperfections

The fidelity between the state of a continuously observed quantum system and the state of its associated quantum filter, is shown to be always a submartingale. The observed system is assumed to be governed by a continuous-time Stochastic Master Equation (SME), driven simultaneously by Wiener and Poisson processes and that takes into account incompleteness and errors in measurements. This stability result is the continuous-time counterpart of a similar stability result already established for discrete-time quantum systems and where the measurement imperfections are modelled by a left stochastic matrix.
