Overview of Trasim
This section gives a simplified overview of the main steps of Trasim. After the
system's state vector |psi> is initialized with
|psi_init>, the following steps are repeated for the duration of the
tracking procedure:
- A measurement of |psi> is simulated. It's outcome is
determined with the help of a pseudo random number generator and
|psi> is transformed into the corresponding post measurement state.
- The guess for |c1|2=|<
1|psi>|2 is calculated. It depends on the outcomes of the
preceding measurement or measurements.
- The time evolution of the system's state vector |psi> is
simulated by sequential application of operators exp(-i H
tauk/h_bar), where the tauk sum up to the
temporal distance between the last and the next measurement. This sequential
application is useful when the user wants to get a picture of the time
evolution of |c1|2=|< 1|psi>|2 in between measurements.
