The time-reversal test for stochastic quantum dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
The calculation of quantum dynamics is currently a central issue in theoretical physics, with diverse applications ranging from ultra-cold atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) to condensed matter, biology, and even astrophysics. Here we demonstrate a conceptually simple method of determining the regime of validity of stochastic simulations of unitary quantum dynamics by employing a time-reversal test. We apply this test to a simulation of the evolution of a quantum anharmonic oscillator with up to 6.022 × 10 (Avogadro’s number) of particles. This system is realisable as a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice, for which the time-reversal procedure could be implemented experimentally.

متن کاملQuantum operation time reversal
The dynamics of an open quantum system can be described by a quantum operation: A linear, complete positive map of operators. Here, I exhibit a compact expression for the time reversal of a quantum operation, which is closely analogous to the time reversal of a classical Markov transition matrix. Since open quantum dynamics are stochastic, and not, in general, deterministic, the time reversal i...
متن کاملProposing A stochastic model for spread of corona virus dynamics in Nigeria
The emergence of corona virus (COVID-19) has create a great public concern as the outbreak is still ongoing and government are taking actions such as holiday extension, travel restriction, temporary closure of public work place, borders, schools, quarantine/isolation, social distancing and so on. To mitigate the spread, we proposed and analyzed a stochastic model for the continue spread of coro...
متن کاملA stochastic model for the semiclassical collective dynamics of charged beams in particle accelerators
In this paper we brie y review the main aspects of a recent pro posal to simulate semiclassical corrections to classical dynamics by suitable classical stochastic uctuations and we apply it to the spe ci c instance of charged beams in particle accelerators The resulting picture is that the collective beam dynamics at the leading semiclassi cal order in Planck constant can be described by a part...
متن کاملStationarity, Time–reversal and Fluctuation Theory for a Class of Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes
We consider a class of stochastic dynamical systems, called piecewise deterministic Markov processes, with states (x, σ) ∈ Ω × Γ, Ω being a region in R or the d–dimensional torus, Γ being a finite set. The continuous variable x follows a piecewise deterministic dynamics, the discrete variable σ evolves by a stochastic jump dynamics and the two resulting evolutions are fully–coupled. We study st...
