Poisson and Diffusion Approximation of Stochastic Master Equations with Control

Quantum Trajectories are solutions of stochastic differential equations. Such equations are called Stochastic Master Equations and describe random phenomena in the continuous measurement theory of Open Quantum System. Many recent developments deal with the control of such models, i.e. optimization, monitoring and engineering. In this article, stochastic models with control are mathematically and physically justified as limits of concrete discrete procedures called Quantum Repeated Measurements. In particular, this gives a rigorous justification of the Poisson and diffusion approximations in quantum measurement theory with control.
