Open system dynamics with non-Markovian quantum jumps
J. Piilo ; K. Harkonen ; S. Maniscalco ; K.-A. Suominen ;
Date 20 Feb 2009
AbstractWe discuss in detail how non-Markovian open system dynamics can be described in terms of quantum jumps [J. Piilo it et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 180402 (2008)]. Our results demonstrate that it is possible to have a jump description contained in the physical Hilbert space of the reduced system. The developed non-Markovian quantum jump (NMQJ) approach is a generalization of the Markovian Monte Carlo Wave Function (MCWF) method into the non-Markovian regime. The results lead to an efficient way to simulate non-Markovian open systems and shed new light on non-Markovian dynamics. The dynamics of the pure state ensemble illustrates how local-in-time master equation can describe memory effects and how the current state of the system carries information on its earlier state. Our approach solves the problem of negative jump probabilities of the Markovian MCWF method in the non-Markovian regime by defining the corresponding jump process with positive probability. The results demonstrate that in the theoretical description of non-Markovian open systems, there occurs quantum jumps which recreate seemingly lost superpositions due to the memory.
