We prove that for any initial state $\\omega$, the net of orthogonal measures representing the net of states $({\\mathcal{T}}_{*t}(\\omega))$ satisfies a large deviation principle in the pure state space, with a rate function given in terms of the generator, and which does not depend on $\\omega$. This implies that $({\\mathcal{T}}_{*t}(\\omega))$ is faithful for all $t$ large enough. Examples arising in weak coupling limit are studied.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-10-06T02:06:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46L55", "82C10", "60F10" ], "keywords": [ "matrix algebra", "pure state space", "large deviation principle", "predual quantum markov semigroup acting", "weak coupling limit" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008AnHP....9..979C" } } }
