Vanishing correlations in stochastic and bistochastic controlled circuits
arXiv:2601.14379 · doi:10.1103/4rn3-bn7k
Abstract
We study the dynamics of circuits composed of stochastic and bistochastic controlled gates. This type of dynamics arises from quantum circuits with random controlled gates, as well as in stochastic circuits and deterministic classical cellular automata. We prove that stochastic and bistochastic controlled gates lead to two-point spatiotemporal correlation functions that vanish everywhere except when the two operators act on the same site. More generally, for multipoint correlations the two rightmost operators must act on the same site. We argue that autocorrelation, while hard to compute, typically decays exponentially toward a value that is exponentially small in the system size. Our results reveal a broad class of quantum systems that exhibit surprisingly simple correlation structures despite their complex microscopic dynamics.
