The entanglement between two arbitrary subsystems of random pure states is studied via properties of the density matrix's partial transpose, ρ T 2 12 . The density of states of ρ T 2 12 is close to the semicircle law when both subsystems have dimensions which are not too small and are of the same order. A simple random matrix model for the partial transpose is found to capture the entanglement properties well, including a transition across a critical dimension. Log-negativity is used to quantify entanglement between subsystems and analytic formulas for this are derived based on the simple model. The skewness of the eigenvalue density of ρ T 2 12 is derived analytically, using the average of the third moment over the ensemble of random pure states. The third moment after partial transpose is also shown to be related to a generalization of the Kempe invariant. The smallest eigenvalue after partial transpose is found to follow the extreme value statistics of random matrices, namely the Tracy-Widom distribution. This distribution, with relevant parameters obtained from the model, is found to be useful in calculating the fraction of entangled states at critical dimensions. These results are tested in a quantum dynamical system of three coupled standard maps, where one finds that if the parameters represent a strongly chaotic system, the results are close to those of random states, although there are some systematic deviations at critical dimensions.
The distribution of the ratios of nearest neighbor level spacings has become a popular indicator of spectral fluctuations in complex quantum systems such as the localized and thermal phases of interacting many-body systems, quantum chaotic systems, and in atomic and nuclear physics. In contrast to the level spacing distribution, which requires the cumbersome and at times ambiguous unfolding procedure, the ratios of spacings do not require unfolding and are easier to compute. In this work, for the class of Wigner-Dyson random matrices with nearest neighbor spacing ratios r distributed as P β (r) for the three ensembles indexed by β = 1, 2, 4, their k−th order spacing ratio distributions are shown to be identical to P β ′ (r), where β ′ , an integer, is a function of β and k. This result is shown for Gaussian and circular ensembles of random matrix theory and for several physical systems such as spin chains, chaotic billiards, Floquet systems and measured nuclear resonances. *
Quantum chaotic kicked top model is implemented experimentally in a two qubit system comprising of a pair of spin-1/2 nuclei using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance techniques. The essential nonlinear interaction was realized using indirect spin-spin coupling, while the linear kicks were realized using RF pulses. After a variable number of kicks, quantum state tomography was employed to reconstruct the single-qubit density matrices using which we could extract various measures such as von Neumann entropies, Husimi distributions, and Lyapunov exponents. These measures enabled the study of correspondence with classical phase space as well as to probe distinct features of quantum chaos, such as symmetries and temporal periodicity in the two-qubit kicked top. The x and y components of J can be recast in the form of raising and lowering operators as J x = (J + + J − )/2 and J y = (J + − J − )/2i which can then be studied in J z eigenbasis {|m } following the ladder equations J + |m = c m |m + 1 and J − |m = d m |m − 1 .First let us consider the evolution of J + component since J − will simply be its Hermitian conjugate (H.c):Computing the action of U NL on the operator in |m ba-sis,
Quantum correlations reflect the quantumness of a system and are useful resources for quantum information and computational processes. Measures of quantum correlations do not have a classical analog and yet are influenced by classical dynamics. In this work, by modeling the quantum kicked top as a multiqubit system, the effect of classical bifurcations on measures of quantum correlations such as the quantum discord, geometric discord, and Meyer and Wallach Q measure is studied. The quantum correlation measures change rapidly in the vicinity of a classical bifurcation point. If the classical system is largely chaotic, time averages of the correlation measures are in good agreement with the values obtained by considering the appropriate random matrix ensembles. The quantum correlations scale with the total spin of the system, representing its semiclassical limit. In the vicinity of trivial fixed points of the kicked top, the scaling function decays as a power law. In the chaotic limit, for large total spin, quantum correlations saturate to a constant, which we obtain analytically, based on random matrix theory, for the Q measure. We also suggest that it can have experimental consequences.
Motivated by link transformations of lattice gauge theory, a method for generating local unitary invariants, especially for a system of qubits, has been pointed out in an earlier work [M. S. Williamson et. al., Phys. Rev. A 83, 062308 (2011)]. This paper first points the equivalence of the so constructed transformations to the combined operations of partial transpose and realignment. This allows construction of local unitary invariants of any system, with subsystems of arbitrary dimensions. Some properties of the resulting operators and consequences for pure tripartite higher dimensional states are briefly discussed.
The spectra of empirical correlation matrices, constructed from multivariate data, are widely used in many areas of sciences, engineering and social sciences as a tool to understand the information contained in typically large datasets. In the last two decades, random matrix theory-based tools such as the nearest neighbour eigenvalue spacing and eigenvector distributions have been employed to extract the significant modes of variability present in such empirical correlations. In this work, we present an alternative analysis in terms of the recently introduced spacing ratios, which does not require the cumbersome unfolding process. It is shown that the higher order spacing ratio distributions for the Wishart ensemble of random matrices, characterized by the Dyson index β, is related to the first order spacing ratio distribution with a modified value of co-dimension β ′ . This scaling is demonstrated for Wishart ensemble and also for the spectra of empirical correlation matrices drawn from the observed stock market and atmospheric pressure data. Using a combination of analytical and numerics, such scalings in spacing distributions are also discussed.
Entanglement within qubits are studied for the subspace of definite particle states or definite number of up spins. A transition from an algebraic decay of entanglement within two qubits with the total number $N$ of qubits, to an exponential one when the number of particles is increased from two to three is studied in detail. In particular the probability that the concurrence is non-zero is calculated using statistical methods and shown to agree with numerical simulations. Further entanglement within a block of $m$ qubits is studied using the log-negativity measure which indicates that a transition from algebraic to exponential decay occurs when the number of particles exceeds $m$. Several algebraic exponents for the decay of the log-negativity are analytically calculated. The transition is shown to be possibly connected with the changes in the density of states of the reduced density matrix, which has a divergence at the zero eigenvalue when the entanglement decays algebraically.Comment: Substantially added content (now 24 pages, 5 figures) with a discussion of the possible mechanism for the transition.

Quantum kicked top is a fundamental model for time-dependent, chaotic Hamiltonian system and has been realized in experiments as well. As the quantum kicked top can be represented as a system of qubits, it is also popular as a testbed for the study of measures of quantum correlations such as entanglement, quantum discord and other multipartite entanglement measures. Further, earlier studies on kicked top have led to a broad understanding of how these measures are affected by the classical dynamical features. In this work, relying on the invariance of quantum correlation measures under local unitary transformations, it is shown exactly these measures display periodic behaviour either as a function of time or as a function of the chaos parameter in this system. As the kicked top has been experimentally realised using cold atoms as well as superconducting qubits, it is pointed out that these periodicities must be factored in while choosing experimental parameters so that repetitions can be avoided.
