Entangling power of the baker’s map: Role of symmetries

Abstract

The quantum baker map possesses two symmetries: a canonical ``spatial'' symmetry, and a time-reversal symmetry. We show that, even when these features are taken into account, the asymptotic entangling power of the baker's map does not always agree with the predictions of random matrix theory. We have verified that the dimension of the Hilbert space is the crucial parameter that determines whether the entangling properties of the baker map are universal or not. For power-of-2 dimensions, i.e., qubit systems, an anomalous entangling power is observed; otherwise the behavior of the baker map is consistent with random matrix theories. We also derive a general formula that relates the asymptotic entangling power of an arbitrary unitary with properties of its reduced eigenvectors.

Entangling power of the quantum baker s map

A J Scott, Carlton M. Caves

We investigate entanglement production in a class of quantum baker's maps. The dynamics of these maps is constructed using strings of qubits, providing a natural tensor-product structure for application of various entanglement measures. We find that, in general, the quantum baker's maps are good at generating entanglement, producing multipartite entanglement amongst the qubits close to that expected in random states. We investigate the evolution of several entanglement measures: the subsystem linear entropy, the concurrence to characterize entanglement between pairs of qubits and two proposals for a measure of multipartite entanglement. Also derived are some new analytical formulae describing the levels of entanglement expected in random pure states.

Quantum baker map on the sphere

Prot Pakónski, Andrzej Ostruszka, Karol Życzkowski

We define a class of dynamical systems on the sphere analogous to the baker map on the torus. The classical maps are characterized by dynamical entropy equal to ln 2. We construct and investigate a family of the corresponding quantum maps. In the simplest case of the model the system does not possess a time reversal symmetry and the quantum map is represented by real, orthogonal matrices of even dimension. The semiclassical ensemble of quantum maps, obtained by averaging over a range of matrix sizes, displays statistical properties characteristic of circular unitary ensemble. Time evolution of such systems may be studied with the help of the SU (2) coherent states and the generalized Husimi distribution.

Thermalization of entangling power with arbitrarily weak interactions

Bhargavi Jonnadula, Prabha Mandayam, Karol Życzkowski +1 more

The change of the entangling power of $n$ fixed bipartite unitary gates, describing interactions, when interlaced with local unitary operators describing monopartite evolutions, is studied as a model of the entangling power of generic Hamiltonian dynamics. A generalization of the local unitary averaged entangling power for arbitrary subsystem dimensions is derived. This quantity shows an exponential saturation to the random matrix theory (RMT) average of the bipartite space, indicating thermalization of quantum gates that could otherwise be very non-generic and have arbitrarily small, but nonzero, entanglement. The rate of approach is determined by the entangling power of the fixed bipartite unitary, which is invariant with respect to local unitaries. The thermalization is also studied numerically via the spectrum of the reshuffled and partially transposed unitary matrices, which is shown to tend to the Girko circle law expected for random Ginibre matrices. As a prelude, the entangling power $e_p$ is analyzed along with the gate typicality $g_t$ for bipartite unitary gates acting on two qubits and some higher dimensional systems. We study the structure of the set representing all unitaries projected into the plane $(e_p, g_t)$ and characterize its boundaries which contains distinguished gates including Fourier gate, CNOT and its generalizations, swap and its fractional powers. In this way, a family of gates with extreme properties is identified and analyzed. We remark on the use of these operators as building blocks for many-body quantum systems.

Entanglement measures of bipartite quantum gates and their thermalization under arbitrary interaction strength

Bhargavi Jonnadula, Prabha Mandayam, Karol Życzkowski +1 more

Entanglement properties of bipartite unitary operators are studied via their local invariants, namely the entangling power e p and a complementary quantity, the gate typicality g t .We characterize the boundaries of the set K 2 representing all two-qubit gates projected onto the plane (e p , g t ) showing that the fractional powers of the SWAP operator form a parabolic boundary of K 2 , while the other bounds are formed by two straight lines.In this way, a family of gates with extreme properties is identified and analyzed.We also show that the parabolic curve representing powers of SWAP persists in the set K N for gates of higher dimensions (N > 2).Furthermore, we study entanglement of bipartite quantum gates applied sequentially n times, and we analyze the influence of interlacing local unitary operations, which model generic Hamiltonian dynamics.An explicit formula for the entangling power of a gate applied n times averaged over random local unitary dynamics is derived for an arbitrary dimension of each subsystem.This quantity shows an exponential saturation to the value predicted by the random matrix theory, indicating "thermalization" in the entanglement properties of sequentially applied quantum gates that can have arbitrarily small, but nonzero, entanglement to begin with.The thermalization is further characterized by the spectral properties of the reshuffled and partially transposed unitary matrices.

Symmetry-protected entanglement in random mixed states

Kasra Hejazi, Hassan Shapourian

Symmetry is an important property of quantum mechanical systems which may dramatically influence their behavior in and out of equilibrium. In this paper, we study the effect of symmetry on tripartite entanglement properties of typical states in symmetric sectors of Hilbert space. In particular, we consider Abelian symmetries and derive an explicit expression for the logarithmic entanglement negativity of systems with ${\mathbb{Z}}_{N}$ and $\text{U}(1)$ symmetry groups. To this end, we develop a diagrammatic method to incorporate partial transpose within the random matrix theory of symmetric states and formulate a perturbation theory in the inverse of the Hilbert space dimension. We further present entanglement phase diagrams as the subsystem sizes are varied and show that there are qualitative differences between systems with and without symmetries. We also design a quantum circuit to simulate our setup.
