We prove a version of the Jacobs-de Leeuw-Glicksberg splitting theorem for weak*continuous one-parameter semigroups on dual Banach spaces. This result is applied to give sufficient conditions for a quantum dynamical semigroup to display decoherence. The underlying notion of decoherence is that introduced by Blanchard and Olkiewicz (2003). We discuss this notion in some detail.

We have obtained sufficient conditions for conservativity of minimal quantum dynamical semigroup by modifying and extending the method used in [1]. Our criterion for conservativity can be considered as a complement to Chebotarev and Fagnola's conditions [1]. In order to show that our conditions are useful, we apply our results to concrete examples (models of heavy ion collision and noncommutative elliptic operators).

We study the structure of the generator of a symmetric, conservative quantum dynamical semigroup with norm-bounded generator on a von Neumann algebra equipped with a faithful semifinite trace. For von Neumann algebras with Abelian commutant (i.e. type I von Neumann algebras), we give a necessary and sufficient algebraic condition for the generator of such a semigroup to be written as a sum of square of self-adjoint derivations of the von Neumann algebra. This generalizes some of the results obtained by Albeverio, Høegh-Krohn and Olsen1 for the special case of the finite-dimensional matrix algebras. We also study similar questions for a class of quantum dynamical semigroups with unbounded generators.

Given a formal unbounded generator, the minimal quantum dynamical semigroup on a von Neumann algebra is constructed. A set of equivalent necessary and sufficient conditions for the conservativity of the minimal semigroup is given and in the case when it is not conservative, a distinguished family of conservative perturbations of the semigroup is studied. Finally, some of these results are applied to the classical Markov semigroup with arbitrary state space.

This paper deals with the asymptotic behavior of a quantum dynamical semigroup [Formula: see text] acting on the algebra of all linear bounded operators on a given Hilbert space. In practice, all these semigroups have a generator which can be written in a well-known form named after Lindblad and Davies. If the semigroup has a faithful normal stationary state ρ, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for the w*-convergence of [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is the conditional expectation of an element X onto the subalgebra of fixed points. Our main results are expressed in terms of the Lindblad–Davies generator .

We provide simple criteria for nonconservativity of a minimal quantum dynamical semigroup.

We prove the existence of Hudson–Parthasarathy dilation of a quantum dynamical semigroup on [Formula: see text], which is symmetric with respect to the canonical normal trace on it.

A notion of a nonlinear quantum dynamical semigroup is introduced and discussed. Some sufficient conditions, expressed solely in terms of the duality map, in order that a multivalued mapping on a C*-algebra generates the nonlinear Markov semigroup are proposed.
