• Title: Non-Hermitian and Zeno limit of quantum systems under rapid measurements
• Authors: Felix Thiel and David A. Kessler
• Abstract summary: We find a scaling collapse in $F(t)$ with respect to $tau$ and compute the total detection probability as well as the moments of the first detection time probability density $F(t)$ in the Zeno limit. We show that both solutions approach the same result in this small $tau$ limit, as long as the initial state $| psi_textin rangle$ is not parallel to the detection state.

• Abstract: We investigate in depth the relation between the first detection time of an isolated quantum system that is repeatedly perturbed by strong local measurements with a large fixed frequency $1/\tau$, determining whether it is in some given state $| \psi_\text{d} \rangle$, and the time of absorption to the same state of the same system with the added imaginary potential $2i\hbar | \psi_\text{d} \rangle \langle \psi_\text{d} | / \tau$. As opposed to previous works, we compare directly the solutions of both problems in the small $\tau$, i.e., Zeno, limit. We find a scaling collapse in $F(t)$ with respect to $\tau$ and compute the total detection probability as well as the moments of the first detection time probability density $F(t)$ in the Zeno limit. We show that both solutions approach the same result in this small $\tau$ limit, as long as the initial state $| \psi_\text{in} \rangle$ is not parallel to the detection state, i.e. as long as $| \langle \psi_\text{d} | \psi_\text{in} \rangle | < 1$. However, when this condition is violated, the small probability density to detect the state on time scales much larger than $\tau$ is precisely a factor of four different for all such times. We express the solution of the Zeno limit of both problems formally in terms of an electrostatic analogy. Our results are corroborated with numerical simulations.

  We construct a dimension-independent k-partite disentangler (like) channel from bipartite unentangled input. We show that to capture NEXP, it suffices to have unentangled proofs of the form $| psi rangle = sqrta | sqrt1-a | psi_+ rangle where $| psi_+ rangle has non-negative amplitudes.

  We show that the distribution of a time measurement at a fixed position can be directly inferred from the distribution of a position measurement at a fixed time as given by the Born rule. In an application to a quantum particle of mass $m$ falling in a uniform gravitational field $g, we use this approach to obtain an exact explicit expression for the probability density of the time-of-arrival.

• Random quantum circuits transform local noise into global white noise [118.18170052022323]
  We study the distribution over measurement outcomes of noisy random quantum circuits in the low-fidelity regime. For local noise that is sufficiently weak and unital, correlations (measured by the linear cross-entropy benchmark) between the output distribution $p_textnoisy$ of a generic noisy circuit instance shrink exponentially. If the noise is incoherent, the output distribution approaches the uniform distribution $p_textunif$ at precisely the same rate.

  A structure composed of two parallel homogeneous layers is studied in the limit as their widths $l_j$ and $l_j$, and the distance between them $r$ shrinks to zero simultaneously. The existence of non-trivial bound states is proven in the squeezing limit, including the particular example of the squeezed potential in the form of the derivative of Dirac's delta function. The scenario how a single bound state survives in the squeezed system from a finite number of bound states in the finite system is described in detail.
