• Abstract: The spectral properties of positive maps provide pivotal information for understanding the dynamics of quantum systems interacting with their environment. Furthermore, central problems in quantum information such as the characterization of entanglement may be reformulated in terms of spectral properties of positive maps. The present work aims to contribute to a better understanding of the spectrum of positive maps. Specifically, our main result is a new proof of a universal bound on the $d^{2}-1$ generically non vanishing decay rates $\Gamma_{i}$ of time-autonomous quantum master equations on a $d$-dimensional Hilbert space: $$ \Gamma_{\mathrm{max}}\,\leq\,c_{d}\,\sum_{i=1}^{d^{2}-1}\Gamma_{i} \nonumber $$ The prefactor $c_{d}$ , which we explicitly determine, depends only on the dimension $d$ and varies depending on the sub-class of positive maps to which the semigroup solution of the master equation belongs. We provide a brief but self-consistent survey of these concepts. We obtain our main result by resorting to the theory of Lyapunov exponents, a central concept in the study of dynamical systems, control theory, and out-of-equilibrium statistical mechanics. We thus show that progress in understanding positive maps in quantum mechanics may require ideas at the crossroads between different disciplines. For this reason, we adopt a notation and presentation style aimed at reaching readers with diverse backgrounds.

  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.
