On Dynamical Properties of a One-Parameter Family of Transformations Arising in Averaging of Semigroups

Abstract

To describe the dynamics of quantum systems with degenerate symmetric but not self-adjoint Hamiltonian, we consider the Naimark extension of the Hamiltonian to a self-adjoint operator in an extended Hilbert space. We relate to the symmetric Hamiltonian a one-parameter family of averaged dynamical transformations of the set of quantum states obtained from a unitary group of transformations of the extended Hilbert space by using a conditional expected value to an algebra of bounded operators acting in the original space. We establish the absence of the semigroup property and injectivity of the family of averaged dynamical transformations. We obtain a representation of trajectories of the averaged family of dynamical transformations by maximum points of functionals on the space of mappings of the time interval into the set of quantum states.
