Master Equation for Retrodiction of Quantum Communication Signals
arXiv:quant-ph/0107139 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.2455
Abstract
We derive the master equation that governs the evolution of the measured state backwards in time in an open system. This allows us to determine probabilities for a given set of preparation events from the results of subsequent measurements, which has particular relevance to quantum communication.
