• Title: Discrete dynamics in the set of quantum measurements
• Authors: Albert Rico and Karol \.Zyczkowski
• Abstract summary: A quantum measurement, often referred to as positive operator-valued measurement (POVM), is a set of positive operators $P_i=P_idaggeq 0$ summing to identity. We analyze dynamics induced by blockwise bistochastic matrices, in which both columns and rows sum to the identity.

• Abstract: A quantum measurement, often referred to as positive operator-valued measurement (POVM), is a set of positive operators $P_i=P_i^\dag\geq 0$ summing to identity, $\sum_iP_i=1\!\!1$. This can be seen as a generalization of a probability distribution of positive real numbers summing to unity, whose evolution is given by a stochastic matrix. From this perspective, we consider transformations of quantum measurements induced by blockwise stochastic matrices, in which each column defines a POVM. These transformations can be simulated with a sequence of two conditional measurements, and their input and output are always jointly measurable. Analyzing dynamics induced by blockwise bistochastic matrices, in which both columns and rows sum to the identity, we formulate an operator majorization relation between quantum measurements, which allows to establish a resource theory in the set of quantum measurements.

  We show that the usual ensemble of sequentially generated random matrix product states (RMPS) using local Haar random unitaries is not uniform when viewed as a restriction of the full Hilbert space. As a result, the entanglement across the chain exhibits an anomalous asymmetry under spatial asymmetry. Some properties of this new ensemble are investigated both analytically and numerically.

We introduce two extensions to these algorithms which allow (i) to perform Hermitian conjugation of matrices under consideration and (ii) to weaken the restriction to the absolute values of matrix elements unavoidably imposed by the normalization condition for a pure quantum state.

We show that one of these linearizations of the von-Neumann equation corresponds to the standard case in which the state vector becomes the column stacked elements of the density matrix. A quantum algorithm to simulate the dynamics of the density matrix is proposed.

Our results underline new ways in which quantum correlations may be preserved in counterintuitive ways even in small-scale non-Hermitian networks.
