• Title: Patterns in the jump-channel statistics of open quantum systems
• Authors: Gabriel T. Landi
• Abstract summary: A continuously measured quantum system with multiple jump channels gives rise to a process described by random jump times and random emitted symbols. We provide a full characterization of the resulting process, including efficient ways of simulating it, as well as determining the underlying memory structure. We show how to unveil patterns in the evolution: Some systems support closed patterns, wherein the evolution runs over a finite set of states, or at least recurring states.

• Abstract: A continuously measured quantum system with multiple jump channels gives rise to a stochastic process described by random jump times and random emitted symbols, representing each jump channel. While much is known about the waiting time distributions, very little is known about the statistics of the emitted symbols. In this letter we fill in this gap. First, we provide a full characterization of the resulting stochastic process, including efficient ways of simulating it, as well as determining the underlying memory structure. Second, we show how to unveil patterns in the stochastic evolution: Some systems support closed patterns, wherein the evolution runs over a finite set of states, or at least recurring states. But even if neither is possible, we show that one may still cluster the states approximately, based on their ability to predict future outcomes. We illustrate these ideas by studying transport through a boundary-driven one-dimensional XY spin chain.

• Quantum resetting in continuous measurement induced dynamics of a qubit [0.0]
  We study the evolution of a two-state system that is monitored continuously but with interactions with the detector tuned so as to avoid the Zeno affect. The post-interaction probe states are measured and this leads to an evolution of the system's state vector. As a spin-off we obtain, for a general resetting process with diffusion, drift and position dependent jump rates, an exact and general solution for the evolution of the probability distribution.
