4.3 Irreversible <strong>Gaussian</strong> qca<br />

(Recall that g is symmetric and C = g + iσ − iΓ T σ Γ from (4.34).) The couplings<br />

introduced by the dissipation form C spoil the connection between local and global<br />

rule for property (i), since unlike in the proof of Lemma 4.2, T(A) for an arbitrary<br />

localized observable A cannot be solely expressed in terms of single-site constituents.<br />

This problem can in principle be overcome by imposing additional conditions on<br />

C and thus on Γ and g. However, it is not immediately clear what requirements<br />

correspond to properties (i) and (ii).<br />

As a first step towards a resolution of this issue, we distinguish between different<br />

notions oflocalizationwhich are relevant for general, not necessarily <strong>Gaussian</strong><br />

irreversible qcas. These are connected to different neighborhoods (which we again<br />

w.l.o.g. assume to contain the origin):<br />

I. Finite propagation speed <strong>with</strong> neighborhood scheme N: Observables which are<br />

localized on a finite region Λ of the lattice are mapped to observables localized<br />

on Λ + N,<br />

T A(Λ) ⊂ A(Λ + N).<br />

II. Factorization <strong>with</strong> respect to a symmetric M, i.e. M = −M: A tensor product<br />

of observables A1 ∈ A(Λ1) and A2 ∈ A(Λ2) on disjoint, finite regions Λ1 and<br />

Λ2 which are separated by M, i.e. (Λ1 + M)∩Λ2 = ∅, is mapped to a product,<br />

T(A1 ⊗ A2) = T(A1)T(A2).<br />

III. Localization of Kraus operators on K: For any finite region Λ there exists a<br />

finite set of Kraus operators localized on Λ+K which implement the dynamics,<br />

∀Λ ∃ Ki | Ki = Ki(Λ) ∈ A(Λ + K) ∀A ∈ A(Λ): T(A) = <br />

i K∗ i AKi .<br />

IV. Local dilation on D: The dynamics consists of three steps. First, in the Schrödinger<br />

picture, for each cell a local ancilla system is prepared in a fixed state<br />

ρ0. Second, a reversible qca given by an automorphism T1 <strong>with</strong> neighborhood<br />

scheme D is run on the extended system. And third, at each site the ancilla<br />

system is traced out. Denote the algebra of the ancilla system by E and the<br />

respective quasi-local algebra for the whole lattice by E(s ). If A ′ (s ) is the<br />

tensor product A(s ) ⊗ E(s ) and trE is the trace over the ancilla systems,<br />

then<br />
