The Stratonovich interpretation of quantum stochastic approximations (Q1819143)

The equivalence of two versions of non-commutative quantum stochastic calculus based on Brownian motion by Stratonovich and Itô is highlighted. The latter was developed by \textit{R. L. Hudson} and \textit{K. R. Parthasarathy} [Commun. Math. Phys. 93, 301-323 (1984; Zbl 0546.60058)]. The conversion from Stratonovich to the Itô version is carried out by using a stochastic form of Wick's theorem. The weak coupling limit and vacuum low density limit schemes are discussed. The limit dynamical equations are converted from Stratonovich to limit form.
