A pathwise ergodic theorem for quantum trajectories

B Kümmerer1 and H Maassen2

Show affiliations


If the time evolution of an open quantum system approaches equilibrium in the time mean, then on any single trajectory of any of its unravellings the time-averaged state approaches the same equilibrium state with probability 1. In the case of multiple equilibrium states, the quantum trajectory converges in the mean to a random choice from these states.
