Random repeated quantum interactions and random invariant states

preprint2009arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider a generalized model of repeated quantum interactions, where a system H\mathcal{H} is interacting in a random way with a sequence of independent quantum systems Kn,n≥1\mathcal{K}_n, n \geq 1. Two types of randomness are studied in detail. One is provided by considering Haar-distributed unitaries to describe each interaction between H\mathcal{H} and Kn\mathcal{K}_n. The other involves random quantum states describing each copy Kn\mathcal{K}_n. In the limit of a large number of interactions, we present convergence results for the asymptotic state of H\mathcal{H}. This is achieved by studying spectral properties of (random) quantum channels which guarantee the existence of unique invariant states. Finally this allows to introduce a new physically motivated ensemble of random density matrices called the \emph{asymptotic induced ensemble}.
