چکیده

Using tools from classical signal processing, we show how to determine the dimensionality of a quantum system as well as the effective size of the environment's memory from observable dynamics in a model-independent way. We discuss the dependence on the number of conserved quantities, the relation to ergodicity and prove a converse showing that a Hilbert space of dimension D+2 is sufficient to describe every bounded sequence of measurements originating from any D-dimensional linear equations of motion. This is in sharp contrast to classical stochastic processes which are subject to more severe restrictions: a simple spectral analysis shows that the gap between the required dimensionality of a quantum and a classical description of an observed evolution can be arbitrary large.

Quantum Dynamics with Intermediate Measurements in Agreement with the Classical Dynamics B.kaulakys

The effect of repetitive measurement for quantum dynamics of driven by an intensive external force of the simple few-level systems as well as of the multilevel systems that exhibit the quantum localisation of classical chaos is investigated. Frequent measurement of the simple system yields to the quantum Zeno effect while that of the suppressed quantum system, which classical counterpart exhibi...

Dynamics of entangled quantum optical system in independent media

We study the dynamics of two three-level atoms interacting with independent bosonic Lorentzian reservoirs at zero temperature. Such systems can be created in far astronomical objects. Quantum mechanical behaviour of these particles can produce detectable effects on the spectroscopic identifications of these objects, if such behaviour remain stable during the interaction with their media. It is ...

Special Session 53: Greedy Algorithms and Tensor Product Representations for High-Dimensional Problems

The curse of dimensionality remains a major obstacle to numerical simulations in various fields such as quantum chemistry, molecular dynamics or uncertainty quantification for instance. Tensor product representations of multivariate functions are a promising way to avoid this di culty. Besides, greedy algorithms have been used in many contexts in order to provide satisfactory, but not usually o...

Insolubility of the Quantum Measurement Problem for Unsharp Observables

The quantum mechanical measurement problem is the difficulty of dealing with the indefiniteness of the pointer observable at the conclusion of a measurement process governed by unitary quantum dynamics. There has been hope to solve this problem by eliminating idealizations from the characterization of measurement. We state and prove two ‘insolubility theorems’ that disappoint this hope. In both...
