text: It is known that random quantum channels exhibit significant violations of multiplicativity of maximum output p-norms for any p > 1. In this work, we show that a weaker variant of multiplicativity nevertheless holds for these channels. For any constant p > 1, given a random quantum channel ( N ) (i.e. a channel whose Stinespring representation corresponds to a random subspace S), we show that with high probability the maximum output p-norm of ( N ^ n ) decays exponentially with n. The proof is based on relaxing the maximum output ∞-norm of ( N ) to the operator norm of the partial transpose of the projector onto S, then calculating upper bounds on this quantity using ideas from random matrix theory.
  @cite_4: Using the graphical calculus and integration techniques introduced by the authors, we study the statistical properties of outputs of products of random quantum channels for entangled inputs. In particular, we revisit and generalize models of relevance for the recent counterexamples to the minimum output entropy additivity problems. Our main result is a classification of regimes for which the von Neumann entropy is lower on average than the elementary bounds that can be obtained with linear algebra techniques.
  @cite_8: In this paper we obtain new bounds for the minimum output entropies of random quantum channels. These bounds rely on random matrix techniques arising from free probability theory. We then revisit the counterexamples developed by Hayden and Winter to get violations of the additivity equalities for minimum output Renyi entropies. We show that random channels obtained by randomly coupling the input to a qubit violate the additivity of the @math -Renyi entropy. For some sequences of random quantum channels, we compute almost surely the limit of their Schatten @math norms.
  @cite_3: This paper is the first of a series where we study quantum channels from the random matrix point of view. We develop a graphical tool that allows us to compute the expected moments of the output of a random quantum channel.
  @cite_6: We consider the image of some classes of bipartite quantum states under a tensor product of random quantum channels. Depending on natural assumptions that we make on the states, the eigenvalues of their outputs have new properties which we describe. Our motivation is provided by the additivity questions in quantum information theory, and we build on the idea that a Bell state sent through a product of conjugated random channels has at least one large eigenvalue. We generalize this setting in two directions. First, we investigate general entangled pure inputs and show that Bell states give the least entropy among those inputs in the asymptotic limit. We then study mixed input states, and obtain new multi-scale random matrix models that allow to quantify the difference of the outputs’ eigenvalues between a quantum channel and its complementary version in the case of a non-pure input.
  @cite_19: We revisit the work of the first named author and using simpler algebraic arguments we calculate integrals of polynomial functions with respect to the Haar measure on the unitary group U(d). The previous result provided exact formulas only for 2d bigger than the degree of the integrated polynomial and we show that these formulas remain valid for all values of d. Also, we consider the integrals of polynomial functions on the orthogonal group O(d) and the symplectic group Sp(d). We obtain an exact character expansion and the asymptotic behavior for large d. Thus we can show the asymptotic freeness of Haar-distributed orthogonal and symplectic random matrices, as well as the convergence of integrals of the Itzykson–Zuber type.
  @cite_11: In this paper, we present applications of the calculus developed in collins-nechita-1 , and obtain an exact formula for the moments of random quantum channels whose input is a pure state thanks to gaussianization methods. Our main application is an in-depth study of the random matrix model introduced by Hayden and Winter and used recently by Brandao, Horodecki, Fukuda and King to refine the Hastings counterexample to the additivity conjecture in Quantum Information Theory. This model is exotic from the point of view of random matrix theory, as its eigenvalues obey to two different scalings simultaneously. We study its asymptotic behavior and obtain an asymptotic expansion for its von Neumann entropy.
summary: Some very recent work by Collins, Fukuda and Nechita @cite_6 also uses related techniques to those which we use here to prove Theorem (e.g. calculations with Weingarten functions @cite_19 , see Section below). The goal of @cite_6 was to find the state which, when input to a tensor product of two random quantum channels (either the same channel, or a channel and its conjugate), achieves minimal output entropy. A sequence of recent papers by Collins and Nechita @cite_4 @cite_3 @cite_11 @cite_8 carries out a number of interesting quantum information-theoretic calculations using Weingarten functions. This method seems to be a powerful tool which may be expected to find many other applications in quantum information.
