Abstract

We consider a generalized model of repeated quantum interactions, where a system is interacting in a random way with a sequence of independent quantum systems . Two types of randomness are studied in detail. One is provided by considering Haar-distributed unitaries to describe each interaction between and . The other involves random quantum states describing each copy . In the limit of a large number of interactions, we present convergence results for the asymptotic state of . This is achieved by studying spectral properties of (random) quantum channels which guarantee the existence of unique invariant states. Finally this allows to introduce a new physically motivated ensemble of random density matrices called the \emph{asymptotic induced ensemble}.
