摘要

We develop a general framework to study quantum trajectories resulting from repeated random measurements subject to stationary noise and generalize results of Kümmerer and Maassen [33] to this setting. The resulting trajectory of quantum states is a time-inhomogeneous Markov chain in a random environment. Kümmerer and Maassen introduced the concept of dark subspaces for noise-free processes, establishing that their absence is equivalent to asymptotic purification of the system state. We clarify the notion of dark subspaces in the disordered setting by defining a measurable correspondence consisting of a collection of random subspaces satisfying a darkness condition. We further prove that asymptotic purification occurs if and only if this collection of random dark subspaces is empty. Several examples of these phenomena are provided.
