Homogenization of Markovian Processes and Application to Quantum Continuous Measurement

Explore the concept of homogenization in Markovian processes and its application to quantum continuous measurements in this 57-minute lecture by Raphael Chetrite at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics. Delve into the interaction between mechanisms evolving at vastly different time scales in physical systems. Learn about a more general formalism for exploiting time scale separation to obtain effective Markovian dynamics on a reduced state space. Examine the limit of strong continuous measurement in quantum systems described by the Belavkin diffusive equation as a key example. This talk was presented as part of the Thematic Programme on "Tensor Networks: Mathematical Structures and Novel Algorithms" at ESI in 2022.
