Finite-bath projected ensembles in dual-unitary circuits

Rahul Arvind, Nicholas Hunter-Jones

We study the emergent randomness in projected ensembles generated by dual-unitary circuits. Specifically, we consider evolution by solvable dual-unitary brickwork circuits followed…

Local random quantum circuits converge to the Porter-Thomas distribution in polynomial depth

Aniruddha Sen, Nicholas Hunter-Jones

Porter-Thomas statistics are a characteristic feature of the output distribution of random quantum states and, more broadly, chaotic quantum many-body systems. Convergence to Porte…

Ideal random quantum circuits pass the LXEB test

Nicholas Hunter-Jones, Jonas Haferkamp

We show that noiseless random quantum circuits pass the linear cross-entropy benchmark (LXEB) test with high probability. If the circuits are linear depth, and thus form unitary 4-…

Two classes of quantum spin systems that are gapped on any bounded-degree graph

Nicholas Hunter-Jones, Marius Lemm

We study translation-invariant quantum spin Hamiltonians on general graphs with non-commuting interactions either given by (i) a random rank- projection or (ii) Haar projectors.…

Demonstrating an unconditional separation between quantum and classical information resources

William Kretschmer, Sabee Grewal, Matthew DeCross +8

A longstanding goal in quantum information science is to demonstrate quantum computations that cannot be feasibly reproduced on a classical computer. Such demonstrations mark major…

Local random quantum circuits form approximate designs on arbitrary architectures

Shivan Mittal, Nicholas Hunter-Jones

We consider random quantum circuits (RQC) on arbitrary connected graphs whose edges determine the allowed -qudit interactions. Prior work has established that such -qudit cir…

Saturation and recurrence of quantum complexity in random local quantum dynamics

Michał Oszmaniec, Marcin Kotowski, Michał Horodecki +1

Quantum complexity is a measure of the minimal number of elementary operations required to approximately prepare a given state or unitary channel. Recently, this concept has found…

Random quantum circuits transform local noise into global white noise

Alexander M. Dalzell, Nicholas Hunter-Jones, Fernando G. S. L. Brandão

We study the distribution over measurement outcomes of noisy random quantum circuits in the low-fidelity regime. We show that, for local noise that is sufficiently weak and unital,…

Improved spectral gaps for random quantum circuits: large local dimensions and all-to-all interactions

Jonas Haferkamp, Nicholas Hunter-Jones

Random quantum circuits are a central concept in quantum information theory with applications ranging from demonstrations of quantum computational advantage to descriptions of scra…

Fluctuations of subsystem entropies at late times

Jordan Cotler, Nicholas Hunter-Jones, Daniel Ranard

We study the fluctuations of subsystem entropies in closed quantum many-body systems after thermalization. Using a combination of analytics and numerics for both random quantum cir…

Random quantum circuits anti-concentrate in log depth

Alexander M. Dalzell, Nicholas Hunter-Jones, Fernando G. S. L. Brandão

We consider quantum circuits consisting of randomly chosen two-local gates and study the number of gates needed for the distribution over measurement outcomes for typical circuit i…

Unitary designs from statistical mechanics in random quantum circuits

Nicholas Hunter-Jones

Random quantum circuits are proficient information scramblers and efficient generators of randomness, rapidly approximating moments of the unitary group. We study the convergence o…

Operator growth in random quantum circuits with symmetry

Nicholas Hunter-Jones

We study random quantum circuits with symmetry, where the local 2-site unitaries are drawn from a quotient or subgroup of the full unitary group . Random quantum circuits are…
