Expansion of a random non-Hermitian quantum Channel
Resumen
A system in quantum mechanics is modeled by a state, i.e. a N dimensional with trace 1 positive semidefinite matrix where N is the number of possible values for an observable (e.g. momentum, level of energy). A transformation of such a system, after measurements for instance, is modeled by specific operators on matrices called quantum channels, preserving the set of states. These operators can be seen as the sum of tensor products of matrices. These matrices are called the Kraus operators of the quantum channel. As for Markov operators, we are interested in the spectral gap of the quantum channel which can be seen as a quantifier of the distance of the channel to a rank one projector, and one way to optimize the gap is to consider Haar distributed unitaries as Kraus operators. A way to prove that the second largest eigenvalue or singular value is optimal in the non-Hermitian case is to use Schwinger-Dyson equations previously used by Hastings in the Hermitian case.
