We consider an open model possessing a Markovian quantum stochastic limit and
derive the limit stochastic Schrodinger equations for the wave function
conditioned on indirect observations using only the von Neumann projection
postulate. We show that the diffusion (Gaussian) situation is universal as a
result of the central limit theorem with the quantum jump (Poissonian)
situation being an exceptional case. It is shown that, starting from the
correponding limiting open systems dynamics, the theory of quantum filtering
leads to the same equations, therefore establishing consistency of the quantum
stochastic approach for limiting Markovian models.Comment: 21 pages, no figure
