Description
In this talk I will describe a perspective on the dynamics
of Markovian open quantum systems based on the study of the
statistical properties of ensembles of quantum trajectories.
This "thermodynamics of quantum trajectories" approach is to
dynamics what the standard equilibrium configuration
ensemble method is for statics. Just like in the static
case, this is based on the formalism of large deviations. I
will go through the main ideas, and discuss applications to
problems including trajectory phase transitions, how to
optimally realise rare events, so-called
prediction-retrodiction, fluctuation bounds, and catching
and reversing quantum jumps.
