We consider the quantum stochastic differential equation introduced by Hudson and Parthasarathy to describe the stochastic evolution of an open quantum system together with its environment. We study the (unbounded) Hamiltonian operator generating the unitary group connected, as shown by Frigerio and Maassen, to the solution of the equation. We find a densely defined restriction of the Hamiltonian operator; in some special cases we prove that this restriction is essentially self-adjoint and in one particular case we get the whole Hamiltonian with its full domain.

We consider a quantum stochastic evolution in continuous time defined by the quantum stochastic differential equation of Hudson and Parthasarathy. On one side, such an evolution can also be defined by a standard Schrödinger equation with a singular and unbounded Hamiltonian operator K. On the other side, such an evolution can also be obtained as a limit from Hamiltonian repeated interactions in discrete time. We study how the structure of the Hamiltonian K emerges in the limit from repeated to continuous interactions. We present results in the case of 1-dimensional multiplicity and system spaces, where calculations can be explicitly performed, and the proper formulation of the problem can be discussed.

Recently, the complete characterization of a general Gaussian dissipative system having a unique pure steady state was obtained. This result provides a clear guideline for engineering an environment such that the dissipative system has a desired pure steady state such as a cluster state. In this paper, we describe the system in terms of a quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE) so that the environment channels can be explicitly dealt with. Then, a physical meaning of that characterization, which cannot be seen without the QSDE representation, is clarified; more specifically, the nullifier dynamics of any Gaussian system generating a unique pure steady state is passive. In addition, again based on the QSDE framework, we provide a general and practical method to implement a desired dissipative Gaussian system, which has a structure of quantum state transfer.

We show a new remarkable connection between the symmetric form of a quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE) and the strong resolvent limit of the Schrödinger equations in Fock space: the strong resolvent limit is unitarily equivalent to QSDE in the adapted (or Ito) form, and the weak limit is unitarily equivalent to the symmetric (or Stratonovich) form of QSDE. We also prove that QSDE is unitarily equivalent to a symmetric boundary value problem for the Schrödinger equation in Fock space. The boundary condition describes standard jumps in phase and amplitude of components of Fock vectors belonging to the range of the resolvent. The corresponding Markov evolution equation (the Lindblad or Markov master equation) is derived from the boundary value problem for the Schrödinger equation.

This paper presents one-step numerical schemes for solving quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE). The algorithms are developed based on the definition of QSDE and the solution techniques yield rapidly convergent sequences which are readily computable. As well as developing the schemes, we perform some numerical experiments and the solutions obtained compete favorably with exact solutions. The solution techniques presented in this work can handle all class of QSDEs most especially when the exact solution does not exist.

When are quantum filters asymptotically independent of the initial state? We show that this is the case for absolutely continuous initial states when the quantum stochastic model satisfies an observability condition. When the initial system is finite dimensional, this condition can be verified explicitly in terms of a rank condition on the coefficients of the associated quantum stochastic differential equation.

The quantum stochastic differential equation derived from the Lindblad form quantum master equation is investigated. The general formulation in terms of environment operators representing the quantum state diffusion is given. The numerical simulation algorithm of stochastic process of direct photodetection of a driven two-level system for the predictions of the dynamical behavior is proposed. The effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm are verified by the performance analysis of the accuracy and the computational cost in comparison with the classical Runge-Kutta algorithm.
