Abstract: | In this paper, we discuss the minimal number of observables Q
1, ..., Q
, where expectation values at some time instants t
1, ..., t
r determine the trajectory of a d-level quantum system ( qudit ) governed by the Gaussian semigroup
. We assume that the macroscopic information about the system in question is given by the mean values E
j(Q
i) = tr(Q
i (t
j)) of n selfadjoint operators Q
1, ..., Q
n at some time instants t
1 < t
2 < ... < t
r, where n < d
2– 1 and r deg ( ,
). Here ( ,
) stands for the minimal polynomial of the generator
of the Gaussian flow (t). |
