Generic properties for random repeated quantum iterations

Abstract: We denote by

M^{n}

the set of

n

by

n

complex matrices. Given a fixed density matrix

and a fixed unitary operator

U : m a t h b b C^{n} o t i m e s m a t h b b C^{n} o m a t h b b C^{n} o t i m e s m a t h b b C^{n}

, the transformation

P h i : M^{n} o M^{n}

Q o Phi (Q) =, ext{Tr}_2 (,U , ( Q otimes �eta ), U^*,)

describes the interaction of

Q

with the external source

. The result of this is

P h i (Q)

. If

Q

is a density operator then

P h i (Q)

is also a density operator. The main interest is to know what happen when we repeat several times the action of

P h i

in an initial fixed density operator

Q_{0}

. This procedure is known as random repeated quantum iterations and is of course related to the existence of one or more fixed points for

P h i

. In cite{NP}, among other things, the authors show that for a fixed

there exists a set of full probability for the Haar measure such that the unitary operator

U

satisfies the property that for the associated

P h i

there is a unique fixed point

Q_{P} h i

. Moreover, there exists convergence of the iterates

P h i^{n} (Q_{0}) o Q_{P} h i

, when

n o i n f t y

, for any given

Q_{0}

We show here that there is an open and dense set of unitary operators

U : m a t h b b C^{n} o t i m e s m a t h b b C^{n} o m a t h b b C^{n} o t i m e s m a t h b b C^{n}

such that the associated

P h i

has a unique fixed point. We will also consider a detailed analysis of the case when

n = 2

. We will be able to show explicit results. We consider the

C^{0}

topology on the coefficients of

U

. In this case we will exhibit the explicit expression on the coefficients of

U

which assures the existence of a unique fixed point for

P h i

. Moreover, we present the explicit expression of the fixed point

Q_{P} h i
