On the asymptotic distribution of block-modified random matrices

Abstract

Abstract. We study random matrices acting on tensor product spaces which have been transformed by a linear block operation. Using operator-valued free probability theory, under some mild assumptions on the linear map acting on the blocks, we compute the asymptotic eigenvalue distribution of the modified matrices in terms of the initial asymptotic distribution. Moreover, using recent results on operator-valued subordination, we present an algorithm that computes, numerically but in full generality, the limiting eigenvalue distribution of the modified matrices. Our analytical results cover many cases of interest in quantum information theory: we unify some known results and we obtain new distributions and various generalizations.

Random matrix techniques in quantum information theory

“…Let us mention now that both thresholds for the PPT and the RED criterion, in the unbalanced case, have been treated, in a unified manner, in the recent preprint [ANV15]. A general framework is developed in [ANV15] in which many examples of entanglement criteria fit.…”

Freeness and The Partial Transposes of Wishart Random Matrices

“…Besides the transpose one can consider the action of other positive linear maps on the blocks of matrices and the effect on the limit eigenvalue distribution. This was considered in considerable generality in the recent paper of Arizmendi, Nechita, and Vargas [1]. A third regime was considered by Fukuda andŚniady in [6] and a connection to meander polynomials was found.…”
