• Abstract: In this study, we explore a form of quantum circuit complexity that extends to open systems. To illustrate our methodology, we focus on a basic model where the projective Hilbert space of states is depicted by the set of orientations in the Euclidean plane. Specifically, we investigate the dynamics of mixed quantum states as they undergo interactions with a sequence of gates. Our approach involves the analysis of sequences of real $2\times2$ density matrices. This mathematical model is physically exemplified by the Stokes density matrices, which delineate the linear polarisation of a quasi-monochromatic light beam, and the gates, which are viewed as quantum polarisers, whose states are also real $2\times2$ density matrices. The interaction between polariser-linearly polarised light is construed within the context of this quantum formalism. Each density matrix for the light evolves in an approach analogous to a Gorini-Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan (GKLS) process during the time interval between consecutive gates. Notably, when considering an upper limit for the cost function or tolerance or accuracy, we unearth that the optimal number of gates follows a power-law relationship.

  We employ quantum state projectors to develop an explicitly gauge-invariant formalism. We provide a simple expression for the shift current that resolves its precise relation to the moments of electronic polarization. We reveal its decomposition into the sum of the skewness of the occupied states and intrinsic multi-state geometry.

  We develop a protocol for creating and manipulating highly-entangled superpositions of well-controlled states of light. Our calculations indicate that a subset of such entangled superpositions are maximally-entangled, "volume-law" states. We envision that this entangling mechanism could be utilized for realizing universal, entangling quantum gates with linear photonic elements alone.

  We identify two different classes: the near edge physics of sparse'' and the near edge of dense'' chaotic systems. The distinction lies in the ratio between the number of a system's random parameters and its Hilbert space dimension. While the two families share identical spectral correlations at energy scales comparable to the level spacing, the density of states and its fluctuations near the edge are different.

  We study two symplectically covariant versions of polar duality. The first variant makes use of the symplectic form on phase space and allows a precise study of the covariance matrix of a density operator. The second variant is a symplectically covariant version of the usual polar duality highlighting the role played by Lagrangian planes.

  We reformulate the technique of third quantization in a way that explicitly connects all three methods. We first show that our formulation reveals a fundamental dissipative symmetry present in all quadratic bosonic or fermionic Lindbladians. For bosons, we then show that the Wigner function and the characteristic function can be thought of as ''wavefunctions'' of the density matrix.

We establish that the Liouvillian describing the quantum dynamics exhibits distinct spectral features of integrable and chaotic character. Our approach can be readily adapted for classifying the nature of quantum dynamics across dissipative critical points in other open quantum systems.

Currently a direct measurement of local coherent currents is out of reach. We show how to achieve that by measuring densities that are altered in response to quenches to non-interacting dynamics.
