Abstract
For quantum diffusive measurements, the system's dynamics can be described by the Itô stochastic master equation, which works well for an infinitesimal time resolution. However, in practical quantum experiments, one cannot make a time step to be infinitesimal, as it can introduce correlation of noise in time, making the Markovian assumption invalid. On the other hand, increasing a time step can cause errors from non-commuting operations describing the system's dynamics. We therefore consider implementing the Euler-Milstein and relevant approaches, namely the Itô map, the high-order completely positive map, and the quantum Bayesian, to simulate quantum trajectory for a quantum system under diffusive continuous measurements. In particular, we numerically simulate trajectories for a qubit measurement in z basis. We show the comparison of individual trajectories and their averaged trajectories among these approaches. We find that the high-order completely positive map approach yields the most accurate averaged quantum trajectory. Furthermore, we also investigate the trace distance from true stochastic quantum trajectories, comparing the four approaches using the numerical simulation. We show that, for a realistic time resolution (as in a superconducting qubit experiment), the high-order map does give the most accurate estimate of the qubit trajectories.
