Quantum chaos in the spectrum of operators used in Shor's algorithm
Krishnendu Maity, Arul Lakshminarayan
Abstract
We provide compelling evidence for the presence of quantum chaos in the unitary part of Shor's factoring algorithm. In particular we analyze the spectrum of this part after proper desymmetrization and show that the fluctuations of the eigenangles as well as the distribution of the eigenvector components follow the CUE ensemble of random matrices, of relevance to quantized chaotic systems that violate time-reversal symmetry. However, as the algorithm tracks the evolution of a single state, it is possible to employ other operators, in particular it is possible that the generic quantum chaos found above becomes of a nongeneric kind such as is found in the quantum cat maps, and in toy models of the quantum bakers map.
