A note on a formula of the Lévy-Khinchin type in quantum probability

Alberto Barchielli, Anna Maria Paganoni · Nagoya Mathematical Journal · 1996

In the past few years there has been an increasing interest in a certain class of stochastic differential equations (SDE’s) in Hilbert spaces for applications in quantum mechanics (measurements continuous in time [1-5]) and in quantum optics (photon-detection theory and numerical simulations of master equations [6-10]). Part of the mathematical theory of these equations has been developed in [11], where also “structural properties” of this class of equations have been studied. In the paper [11] it has been shown that such equations are connected with certain semigroups of linear operators and the form of the generator of semigroups related to such SDE’s has been established.
