The purification can always be performed when considering only a quantity not dependent on the quantum state of the ancilla system. Otherwise, the possibility of purification cannot be elucidated. In this study, we focus on the cases where a quantum system S and the ancilla system interact with each other, and investigate whether purification, which correctly reproduces the time evolution of the system S, is possible. Accordingly, when the ancilla system is a macrosystem, it can be shown that this purification is possible for a specific initial state.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-11-01T05:17:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "open quantum system", "time evolution", "typical purification reproducing", "arbitrary quantum state", "appropriate ancilla system" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 3, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
