An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In quantum mechanics, especially in the study of open quantum systems, reduced dynamics refers to the time evolution of a density matrix for a system coupled to an environment. Consider a system and environment initially in the state (which in general may be entangled) and undergoing unitary evolution given by . Then the reduced dynamics of the system alone is simply If we assume that the mapping is linear and completely positive, then the reduced dynamics can be represented by a quantum operation. This mean we can express it in the operator-sum form

  • In quantum mechanics, especially in the study of open quantum systems, reduced dynamics refers to the time evolution of a density matrix for a system coupled to an environment. Consider a system and environment initially in the state (which in general may be entangled) and undergoing unitary evolution given by . Then the reduced dynamics of the system alone is simply If we assume that the mapping is linear and completely positive, then the reduced dynamics can be represented by a quantum operation. This mean we can express it in the operator-sum form where the are operators on the Hilbert space of the system alone, and no reference is made to the environment. In particular, if the system and environment are initially in a product state , it can be shown that the reduced dynamics are completely positive. However, the most general possible reduced dynamics are not completely positive. (en)
