Continuous measurements in probability representation of quantum mechanics

Abstract

The continuous quantum measurement within the probability representation of quantum mechanics is discussed. The partial classical propagator of the symplectic tomogram associated to a particular measurement outcome is introduced, for which the representation of a continuous measurement through the restricted path integral is applied. The classical propagator for the system undergoing a non-selective measurement is derived by summing these partial propagators over the entire outcome set. The elaborated approach is illustrated by considering non-selective position measurement of a quantum oscillator and a particle.
