We show that the Schr{o}dinger-Newton equation, which describes the nonlinear time evolution of self-gravitating quantum matter, can be made compatible with the no-signaling requirement by elevating it to a stochastic differential equation. In the deterministic form of the equation, as studied so far, the nonlinearity would lead to diverging energy corrections for localized wave packets and would create observable correlations admitting faster-than-light communication. By regularizing the divergencies and adding specific random jumps or a specific Brownian noise process, the effect of the nonlinearity vanishes in the stochastic average and gives rise to a linear and Galilean invariant evolution of the density operator.

This paper presents a detailed Lyapunov-based theory to control and stabilize continuously-measured quantum systems, which are driven by Stochastic Schrodinger Equation (SSE). Initially, equivalent classes of states of a quantum system are defined and their properties are presented. With the help of equivalence classes of states, we are able to consider global phase invariance of quantum states in our mathematical analysis. As the second mathematical modelling tool, the conventional Ito formula is further extended to non-differentiable complex functions. Based on this extended Ito formula, a detailed stochastic stability theory is developed to stabilize the SSE. Main results of this proposed theory are sufficient conditions for stochastic stability and asymptotic stochastic stability of the SSE. Based on the main results, a solid mathematical framework is provided for controlling and analyzing quantum system under continuous measurement, which is the first step towards implementing weak continuous feedback control for quantum computing purposes.
We show that the stochastic Schrodinger equation (SSE) provides an ideal way to simulate the quantum mechanical spin dynamics of radical pairs. Electron spin relaxation effects arising from fluctuations in the spin Hamiltonian are straightforward to include in this approach, and their treatment can be combined with a highly efficient stochastic evaluation of the trace over nuclear spin states that is required to compute experimental observables. These features are illustrated in example applications to a flavin-tryptophan radical pair of interest in avian magnetoreception, and to a problem involving spin-selective radical pair recombination along a molecular wire. In the first of these examples, the SSE is shown to be both more efficient and more widely applicable than a recent stochastic implementation of the Lindblad equation, which only provides a valid treatment of relaxation in the extreme-narrowing limit. In the second, the exact SSE results are used to assess the accuracy of a recently-proposed combination of Nakajima-Zwanzig theory for the spin relaxation and Schulten-Wolynes theory for the spin dynamics, which is applicable to radical pairs with many more nuclear spins. An appendix analyses the efficiency of trace sampling in some detail, highlighting the particular advantages of sampling with SU(N) coherent states.
We derive a hierarchy of matrix product states (HOMPS) method which is numerically exact and efficient for general non-Markovian dynamics in open quantum system. This HOMPS is trying to attack the exponential wall issue in the recently developed hierarchy of pure states (HOPS) scheme with two steps: a. finding an effective time-dependent Schrodinger equation which is equivalent to HOPS, b. propagating this equation within matrix product states/operators (MPS/MPO) representation. HOMPS works in linear form and takes into account finite temperature effect straightforwardly from the initial pure state. Applications of HOMPS to spin-boson model covering both high and low temperatures are provided, demonstrating the validity and efficiency of the new approach.

In this paper, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of the solution of the stochastic logarithmic Schrodinger (SlogS) equation driven by additive noise or multiplicative noise. The key ingredient lies on the regularized stochastic logarithmic Schrodinger (RSlogS) equation with regularized energy and the strong convergence analysis of the solutions of (RSlogS) equations. In addition, temporal Holder regularity estimates and uniform estimates in energy space $mathbb H^1(mathcal O)$ and weighted Sobolev space $L^2_{alpha}(mathcal O)$ of the solutions for both SlogS equation and RSlogS equation are also obtained.
Lagrangian formulation of quantum mechanical Schrodinger equation is developed in general and illustrated in the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian and in the coordinate representation. The Lagrangian formulation of physically plausible quantum system results in a well defined second order equation on a real vector space. The Klein-Gordon equation for a real field is shown to be the Lagrangian form of the corresponding Schrodinger equation.
