Stochastic Schroedinger equations and applications to Ehrenfest-type   theorems
  We study stochastic evolution equations describing the dynamics of open quantum systems. First, using resolvent approximations, we obtain a sufficient condition for regularity of solutions to linear stochastic Schroedinger equations driven by cylindrical Brownian motions applying to many physical systems. Then, we establish well-posedness and norm conservation property of a wide class of open quantum systems described in position representation. Moreover, we prove Ehrenfest-type theorems that describe the evolution of the mean value of quantum observables in open systems. Finally, we give a new criterion for existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to non-linear stochastic Schroedinger equations. We apply our results to physical systems such as fluctuating ion traps and quantum measurement processes of position.
