Exact Fidelity and Full Fidelity Statistics in Regular and Chaotic Surroundings

For a prepared state exact expressions for the time dependent mean fidelity as well as for the mean inverse paricipation ratio are obtained analytically. The distribution function of fidelity in the long time limit and of inverse participation ratio are studied numerically and analytically. Surprising features like fidelity revival and enhanced non--ergodicity are observed. The role of the coupling coefficients and of complexity of background is studied as well.Comment: 4 pages 3 figure

Universality of spectra for interacting quantum chaotic systems

We analyze a model quantum dynamical system subjected to periodic interaction with an environment, which can describe quantum measurements. Under the condition of strong classical chaos and strong decoherence due to large coupling with the measurement device, the spectra of the evolution operator exhibit an universal behavior. A generic spectrum consists of a single eigenvalue equal to unity, which corresponds to the invariant state of the system, while all other eigenvalues are contained in a disk in the complex plane. Its radius depends on the number of the Kraus measurement operators, and determines the speed with which an arbitrary initial state converges to the unique invariant state. These spectral properties are characteristic of an ensemble of random quantum maps, which in turn can be described by an ensemble of real random Ginibre matrices. This will be proven in the limit of large dimension.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figure
