O. Introduction
This work is part of a series of papers [2,3,4] where, expanding
some heuristic ideas in [11], we develop the theory of the weak
coupling limit for open quantum systems. It has been known for fifteen
years that the reduced dynamics of an open quantum system converges
to a quantum dynamical semigroup in the weak coupling limit (coupling
constant ~ -+ 0 , microscopic time s >-- ~ , with macroscopic time
t = X2s held constant) [18,6]. e)% investigate whether and in which
sense the full time evolution of an open quantum system converges, in
the weak coupling limit, to an evolution driven by quantum Brownian
motion [16,14,15]. In [2] we obtained rigorous results for the time
(k)
evolution operator U ; in [3] we studied the time evolved
t/k 2
(~) CA)+ Ck) CA)
observables j (X) = U (X ~ I)U , and we proved that j
tlA ~ tl~ 2 tl~ = t/A =
converges to a quantum diffusion j [10] governed by a quantum
t
Langevin equation,
Here we wish to present the results of [3] in a self-contained way.
To this end we adopt a method of proof which is simpler than the one
of [3], by reducing the problem to a time-dependent generalization of
the derivation of a quantum dynamical semigroup in the weak coupling
limit [18,6]. However, the price to be paid for this simplification
is that the present method is specific for boson reservoirs with
linear coupling to the system of interest, whereas the method of [3]
is suitable for generalization to the fermion case [4], to more
general interactions, and to the low density limit [9,5].
.1 Notations and Preliminaries
..............................
~e consider a quantum system 5, with associated Hilbert space
and Hamiltonian H, coupled to another quantum system , ~ 5 with
Hilbert space ~" and Hamiltonian 'H , by an interaction kV, where
the coupling constant ~ is assumed to be "small". All Hilbert
spaces in this paper will be understood to be separable. 5 is
spatially confined, meaning that the Hamiltonian H is self-adjoint
in ~ , bounded from below, and such that exp[-~H] is trace class
for all positive ~. ~ 5 is an infinitely extended quasi-free boson
system, meaning that ~ = F(~ ) is the symmetric Fock space over
1
the one-particle Hilbert space ~ , and ~ = H dF(H ) is the
I I
differential second quantization of the one-particle Hamiltonian
H , a non-negative self-adjoint operator in ~ with Lebesgue
1 1
spectrum. e)% shall also assume that there exists a nonzero (nonclosed)
linear subspace K of ~ such that, for all f,g 6 K , we have
1 1 I
I+~ l<f,exp[iH t]g> I dt < + ~ (I.I)
-~ 1
The annihilation and creation operators in ~' corresponding to the
+
test functions f in ~ will be denoted by a(f), a (f); they
1
+
satisfy the CCR [a(f),a (g)] = <f,g> and a(f)~ = O, where
o o
is the Fock vacuum vector.
By doubling the space ~ to ~ ~ ~ , ~ denoting the
1 1 1 1
conjugate space to ~ , this formalism allows us to consider also
I
a representation of the CCR algebra determined by a gauge-invariant
quasi-free state w which is stationary under the time evolution
Q
determined by H'. Specifically, let Q be a positive self-adjoint
operator in ~ , commuting strongly with H and satisfying Q ~ 1,
1 1
and let w be determined by
Q

W (a(f)a (g)) = <f,~(Q+l)~> , w Ca (g)a(f)) = <f,~(Q-1)~>
Q Q

Then a(f) is represented by n Ca(f)) = a(Q f ~ O) + a (0 ~ Q f) ,

where
Q = [~(Q+I)] , Q = [~(Q-1)] ~ 41.2)

we have indeed <~ ,n (a(f))n (a (g))® > = w (a(f)a (g)) : f,g £ H .

e)% identify ~ and ~ as sets, assuming that ~ is mapped onto
1 1 1 1
by a conjugation commuting with H and with Q , so that
1
Q exp[iH t]f • Q exp[iH t]f = exp[iH t]Q f e exp[-iH t]Q f .

The interaction V between 5 and S' is assumed to be of the form
n + +
V = i ~ [B ® a (g) - B ® a(g ]) , 41.3)
j=l j j j j
where B ,...,B are bounded operators on H, g ,...,g £ K , and where

[H,B ] = - w B , w > 0 : j = 1,...,n (I.4)
J J J J
<g ,exp[iH t]g > = 0 for all t if j % k (1.5)
j 1 k
Such interactions arise in the so-called rotating wave approximation.
In order to derive a reduced dynamics for the observables of S,
we assume that the initial state of S' is a gauge-invariant quasi-frce
state w Again, by doubling ~ to ~ B( ~ and the set of
Q 1 1 I
indices (I,... ,n) to [I,... ,2n) , we can reduce this to the case
where the initial state of ' S is the rock vacuum: the new expression
of the interaction V becomes
2n + " +
V = i X [B )~ a (g) - B @ a(g )] , (1.6)
j=1 J j j j
~ ÷
where g = Q g S 0 , g = 0 • Q g , and where B = B :
j + j n+j - j n+j j
j = 1,...,n . In this and in the following two Sections, tildes will
be dropped and 2n will be called n again.
Let H = H + H' + XV ( = H @ I + I ~ ' H + AV) be the total

Hamiltonian for the composite system 5 + 5' , and let H = H

2. Statement of main result
.............................
In our previous paper [2] we have shown that there is a precise
(X)
sense in which U (defined by (I,7)) converges as A >-- 0 to
tlX ~
the solution U(t) of a quantum stochastic differential equation
(QSDE; in the sense of [16]) of the form
n + +
dU(t) ( ~ [B dA (t) - B dA (t)] + K dr) U(t) (2.1)
j:l j j j j
÷
with U(O) = I ~ where (A (t), A (t) : t ~ 0 , j = 1~...,n] are
J J
mutually independent rock quantum Brownian motions satisfying
+
dA (t) dA (t) = 6 c (w) dt (2.2)
j k jk j j
and where K is given by (1.11) (actually, the proof in [2] is just
for the case n = 1 , but an extension to arbitrary n can be easily
given). In the present paper, like in [3], we shall prove that there
is a precise sense in which
(k) (X)÷ (k)
j (X) :: U (X ® 1) U : X £ B(~4) (2.3)

j (X) := U (t) (X ~ 1)U(t) : X E B (CH) , (2.4)

where U(t) is the solution of the QSDE (2.1): j is a quantum
t
diffusion (in the sense of [I0]) satisfying the following quantum
Langevin equation:
