Semi-Markov processes in open quantum systems. II. Counting statistics with resetting.

Abstract

A semi-Markov process method for obtaining general counting statistics for open quantum systems is extended to the scenario of resetting. The simultaneous presence of random resets and wave function collapses means that the quantum jump trajectories are no longer semi-Markov. However, focusing on trajectories and using simple probability formulas, general counting statistics can still be constructed from reset-free statistics. An exact tilted matrix equationis also obtained. The inputs of these methods are the survival distributions and waiting-time density distributions instead of quantum operators. In addition, a continuous-time cloning algorithm is introduced to simulate the large-deviation properties of open quantum systems. Several quantum optics systems are used to demonstrate these results.
