On the transient and recurrent parts of a quantum Markov semigroup

Veronica Umanità — 2006

Banach Center Publications

We define the transient and recurrent parts of a quantum Markov semigroup 𝓣 on a von Neumann algebra 𝓐 and we show that, when 𝓐 is σ-finite, we can write 𝓣 as the sum of such semigroups. Moreover, if 𝓣 is the countable direct sum of irreducible semigroups each with a unique faithful normal invariant state ρₙ, we find conditions under which any normal invariant state is a convex combination of ρₙ's.

On two quantum versions of the detailed balance condition

Franco FagnolaVeronica Umanità — 2010

Banach Center Publications

Quantum detailed balance conditions are often formulated as relationships between the generator of a quantum Markov semigroup and the generator of a dual semigroup with respect to a certain scalar product defined by an invariant state. In this paper we survey some results describing the structure of norm continuous quantum Markov semigroups on ℬ(h) satisfying a quantum detailed balance condition when the duality is defined by means of pre-scalar products on ℬ(h) of the form x , y s : = t r ( ρ 1 - s x * ρ s y ) (s ∈ [0,1]) in order...

Quantum detailed balance conditions with time reversal: the finite-dimensional case

Franco FagnolaVeronica Umanità — 2011

Banach Center Publications

We classify generators of quantum Markov semigroups on (h), with h finite-dimensional and with a faithful normal invariant state ρ satisfying the standard quantum detailed balance condition with an anti-unitary time reversal θ commuting with ρ, namely t r ( ρ 1 / 2 x ρ t 1 / 2 ( y ) ) = t r ( ρ 1 / 2 θ y * θ ρ t 1 / 2 ( θ x * θ ) ) for all x,y ∈ and t ≥ 0. Our results also show that it is possible to find a standard form for the operators in the Lindblad representation of the generators extending the standard form of generators of quantum Markov semigroups satisfying the usual...
