18 Markovian limit, quantum- diffusion and stochas;c Schrödinger Equa;on GOAL: Restarting from an uncorrelated state we should: 1-have an estimate of 2-interpret it as an average over jumps between simple states Weak coupling approximation : perturbative treatment Reinhard and Suraud, Ann. of Phys. 216 (1992) Statistical assumption in the Markovian limit : Residual interaction in the mean-field interaction picture We assume that the residual interaction can be treated as an ensemble of two-body interaction:
