Structure of Markov cocycles on Fock space (Q1077820): Difference between revisions

We show that strongly continuous unitary Markov cocycles on Fock space are solutions of a quantum stochastic Schrödinger equation and give their explicit form through a decomposition of Fock space on the eigenspaces of the number operator. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for a generalized Hamiltonian to be the generator of such a cocycle. This generalizes the work of \textit{R. L. Hudson} and \textit{K. R. Parthasarathy} [Commun. Math. Phys. 93, 301-323 (1984; Zbl 0546.60058)] in the norm-continuous case.
