• Abstract: We study the generation of state $k$-designs from time evolution under a fixed Hamiltonian. Specifically, we consider the ensemble $\mathcal{E}=\left\{e^{-iHt}|ψ_0\rangle | \ t\sim \mathrm{Unif}[0,T],\, |ψ_0\rangle\sim \mathcal{E}'\right\}$, where the initial states are sampled from an ensemble $\mathcal{E}'$. For Hamiltonians drawn from the Gaussian unitary ensemble, we derive a simple relation between the frame potential of the evolved ensemble $\mathcal{E}$ and that of the initial ensemble $\mathcal{E}'$ in the large evolution time limit. This relation shows that $\mathcal{E}$ forms an exact state $k$-design in the thermodynamic limit as long as $\mathcal{E}'$ forms a state 1-design. Remarkably, we further show, both analytically and numerically, that time evolution under a simple nonintegrable mixed-field Ising Hamiltonian can generate approximate state $k$-designs with high precision, starting from product states in an appropriately chosen Pauli basis. We also analyze the finite-$T$ correction and find it scales as $O(1/T)$. To reduce the evolution time, we propose an $M$-step quench protocol that suppresses this correction to $O(1/T^M)$, which is also verified numerically. We then extend our analysis to unitary ensembles, deriving an analogous recursion relation for the unitary frame potential. Our results elucidate the mechanisms underlying recent proposals for generating unitary $k$-designs through sequential quantum quenches in a unified manner.

  Under nonlinear measurements, most prior results are non-uniform, i.e., they hold with high probability for a fixed $mathbfx*$ rather than for all $mathbfx*$ simultaneously. Our framework accommodates GCS with 1-bit/uniformly quantized observations and single index models as canonical examples. We also develop a concentration inequality that produces tighter bounds for product processes whose index sets have low metric entropy.

• Self-healing of Trotter error in digital adiabatic state preparation [52.77024349608834]
  We prove that the first-order Trotterization of a complete adiabatic evolution has a cumulative infidelity that scales as $mathcal O(T-2 delta t2)$ instead of $mathcal O(T2delta t2)$ expected from general Trotter error bounds. This result suggests a self-healing mechanism and explains why, despite increasing $T$, infidelities for fixed-$delta t$ digitized evolutions still decrease for a wide variety of Hamiltonians.
