• Title: Free Multiplicative Convolution and Erlang Moments in Monitored Quantum Transport
• Abstract summary: We study the transmission eigenvalues of monitored Haar products [ B_L=(PS_L)(PS_L-1)cdots(PS_1), ] where the $S_i$ are independent Haar unitaries and $P$ is a deterministic projection.<n>We also formulate the diagonal scaling $LsimN$, $c=1/N$, as a quantitative convergence problem supported by low-order moment checks.

• Abstract: We study the transmission eigenvalues of monitored Haar products \[ B_L=(PS_L)(PS_{L-1})\cdots(PS_1), \] where the $S_i$ are independent Haar unitaries and $P$ is a deterministic projection. For fixed $L$, we prove that the empirical eigenvalue distribution of $B_L^\dagger B_L$ converges to $ν_c^{\boxtimes L}$, where $ν_c=(1-c)δ_1+cδ_0$. We then take the free small-loss limit and identify the limiting law by \[ S_{μ_τ}(z)=\exp\left(\fracτ{1+z}\right). \] Lagrange inversion gives explicit Erlang-type moments, explaining the polynomials appearing in Beenakker's recursion. We also record spectral consequences, including the atom $μ_τ(\{1\})=(1-τ)_+$ and the real branch point $τ\mathrm{e}^{1-τ}$, and formulate the diagonal scaling $L\simτN$, $c=1/N$, as a quantitative convergence problem supported by low-order moment checks.
