A theory of open systems based on stochastic differential equations

For a model of an open quantum system—a concentrated ensemble consisting of similar atoms and interacting with a one-dimensional quantum vacuum environment with a zero photon density—quantum stochastic differential equations of a non-Wiener type of the general form have been obtained; based on the equations, kinetic equations describing a wide class of physical systems are derived. The distinctive feature of such systems is effects of suppression of collective spontaneous emission and stabilization of the excited state. For the open classical system exposed to the action of noise in the form of a Levy process of the general non-Gaussian kind, kinetic equations of the Fokker-Planck type with fractional derivatives have been obtained based on classical non-Wiener stochastic differential equations. This emphasizes the common base of the developed theory for different types of open systems, which is expressed in using the mathematical formalism of stochastic differential equations of the general non-Wiener type.
