Abstract
We present a method for obtaining evolution operators for linear quant um trajectories. We apply this to a number of physical examples of var ying mathematical complexity, in which the quantum trajectories descri be the continuous projection measurement of physical observables. Usin g this method we calculate the average conditional uncertainty for the measured observables, being a central quantity of interest in these m easurement processes.
