• Abstract: We consider the time evolution of an open quantum system subject to a sequence of random quantum channels with a stationary distribution. This incorporates disorder into the repeated interactions (or, quantum collision models) approach to understanding open quantum dynamics. In the literature, various specific models of disorder in repeated interaction models have been considered, including the cases where the sequence of quantum channels form either i.i.d. or Markovian stochastic processes. In the present paper we consider the general structure of such models without any specific assumptions on the probability distribution, aside from stationarity (i.e., time-translation invariance). In particular, arbitrarily strong correlations between time steps are allowed. In 2021, Movassagh and Schenker (MS) introduced a unified framework in which one may study such randomized quantum dynamics, and, under a key strong decoherence assumption proved an ergodic theorem for a large class of physically relevant examples. Here, we recognize the decoherence assumption of MS as a kind of irreducibility and develop a reducibility theory for general stationary random repeated interaction models without this condition. Within this framework, we establish ergodic theorems extending of those obtained by MS to the general stationary setting.

Here, we extend this investigation beyond quantum mechanics to a broader class of operational theories described within the framework of general probabilistic theories. We show that Birkhoff-violation in GPTs can lead to consequences that are atypical to quantum theory.

• A quantum fluctuation theorem for any Lindblad master equation [0.0]
  We present a general quantum fluctuation theorem for the entropy production of an open quantum system coupled to multiple environments. The theorem is genuinely quantum, as it can be expressed in terms of conservation of a Hermitian operator. We show that the fluctuation theorem amounts to a relation between time-reversed dynamics of the global density matrix and a two-time correlation function.

  We show how to predict and experimentally observe the emergence of random state ensembles naturally under time-independent Hamiltonian dynamics. The observed random ensembles emerge from projective measurements and are intimately linked to universal correlations built up between subsystems of a larger quantum system. Our work has implications for understanding randomness in quantum dynamics, and enables applications of this concept in a wider context.

  The concept of out-of-time-ordered correlation (OTOC) function is treated as a very strong theoretical probe of quantum randomness. We define a general class of OTOC, which can perfectly capture quantum randomness phenomena in a better way. We demonstrate an equivalent formalism of computation using a general time independent Hamiltonian.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
