一个开放系统的演化,是环境对这个系统的持续测量

Evolution of an open system as a continuous measurement of this system by its environment

Michael B. Mensky

摘要:

从开放系统的Feynman-Vernon影响泛函出发,重新推导了连续量子测量的限制路径积分(RPI)描述.为此,将由开放系统及其环境组成的复合系统的总演化算子分解为部分演化算子之和。相应地,开放系统的影响泛函被分解为部分影响泛函(PIF)的积分。如果选择部分演化算子或PIF,使它们退相干(不相互干扰),则RPI的形式有效地出现。开放系统的演化可以解释为环境对系统的连续测量。如果环境是宏观或介观的,这是可能的。

英文摘要:

The restricted-path-integral (RPI) description of a continuous quantum measurement is rederived starting from the description of an open system by the Feynman-Vernon influence functional. For this end the total evolution operator of the compound system consisting of the open system and its environment is decomposed into the sum of partial evolution operators. Accordingly, the influence functional of the open system is decomposed into the integral of partial influence functionals (PIF). If the partial evolution operators or PIF are chosen in such a way that they decohere (do not interfere with each other), then the formalism of RPI effectively arises. The evolution of the open system may then be interpreted as a continuous measurement of this system by its environment. This is possible if the environment is macroscopic or mesoscopic.
