开放系统中的量子回溯

Quantum retrodiction in open systems

David T. Pegg, Stephen M. Barnett, John Jeffers

摘要:

量子回溯涉及找到给定测量事件的各种准备事件的概率。这个理论已经被研究了一段时间,但主要是作为一个有趣的概念,与量子力学中的时间不对称性有关。然而,最近对量子通信和密码学的兴趣为追溯提供了潜在的实际应用。为此目的,开放系统中的量子追溯应该比与环境隔离的封闭系统更相关。本文研究了开放系统中的回溯问题,提出了一个测量态向后时间演化的一般主方程,它可用于计算制备几率。我们解决的主方程,作为例子,驱动的二能级原子耦合到电磁场。

英文摘要:

Quantum retrodiction involves finding the probabilities for various preparation events given a measurement event. This theory has been studied for some time but mainly as an interesting concept associated with time asymmetry in quantum mechanics. Recent interest in quantum communications and cryptography, however, has provided retrodiction with a potential practical application. For this purpose quantum retrodiction in open systems should be more relevant than in closed systems isolated from the environment. In this paper we study retrodiction in open systems and develop a general master equation for the backward time evolution of the measured state, which can be used for calculating preparation probabilities. We solve the master equation, by way of example, for the driven two-level atom coupled to the electromagnetic field.
