We consider the empirical eigenvalue distribution of an [Formula: see text] principal submatrix of an [Formula: see text] random unitary matrix distributed according to Haar measure. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] large with [Formula: see text], the empirical spectral measure is well approximated by a deterministic measure [Formula: see text] supported on the unit disc. In earlier work, we showed that for fixed [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the bounded-Lipschitz distance [Formula: see text] between the empirical spectral measure and the corresponding [Formula: see text] is typically of order [Formula: see text] or smaller. In this paper, we consider eigenvalues on a microscopic scale, proving concentration inequalities for the eigenvalue counting function and for individual bulk eigenvalues.

The purpose of this paper is to study the eigenvalues [Formula: see text] of Ut where U is a large N×N random unitary matrix and t > 0. In particular we are interested in the typical times t for which all the eigenvalues are simultaneously close to 1 in different ways thus corresponding to recurrence times in the issue of quantum measurements. Our strategy consists in rewriting the problem as a random matrix integral and use loop equations techniques to compute the first-orders of the large N asymptotic. We also connect the problem to the computation of a large Toeplitz determinant whose symbol is the characteristic function of several arc segments of the unit circle. In particular in the case of a single arc segment we recover Widom's formula. Eventually we explain why the first return time is expected to converge toward an exponential distribution when N is large. Numerical simulations are provided along the paper to illustrate the results.

Let $U$ be a matrix chosen randomly, with respect to Haar measure, from the unitary group $U(d).$ For any $k \leq d,$ and any $k \times k$ submatrix $U_k$ of $U,$ we express the average value of $|{\rm Tr}(U_k)|^{2n}$ as a sum over partitions of $n$ with at most $k$ rows whose terms count certain standard and semistandard Young tableaux. We combine our formula with a variant of the Colour-Flavour Transformation of lattice gauge theory to give a combinatorial expansion of an interesting family of unitary matrix integrals. In addition, we give a simple combinatorial derivation of the moments of a single entry of a random unitary matrix, and hence deduce that the rescaled entries converge in moments to standard complex Gaussians. Our main tool is the Weingarten function for the unitary group.

A general scheme is presented to decompose a d-by-d unitary matrix as the product of two-level unitary matrices with additional structure and prescribed determinants. In particular, the decomposition can be done by using two-level matrices in d - 1 classes, where each class is isomorphic to the group of 2 × 2 unitary matrices. The proposed scheme is easy to apply, and useful in treating problems with the additional structural restrictions. A Matlab program is written to implement the scheme, and the result is used to deduce the fact that every quantum gate acting on n-qubit registers can be expressed as no more than 2n-1(2n-1) fully controlled single-qubit gates chosen from 2n-1 classes, where the quantum gates in each class share the same n - 1 control qubits. Moreover, it is shown that one can easily adjust the proposed decomposition scheme to take advantage of additional structure evolving in the process.

AbstractWe establish an asymptotic formula describing the horizontal distribution of the zeros of the derivative of the Riemann zeta-function. For ℜ(s) = σ satisfying (log T)−1/3+ε ⩽ (2σ − 1) ⩽ (log log T)−2, we show that the number of zeros of ζ′(s) with imaginary part between zero and T and real part larger than σ is asymptotic to T/(2π(σ−1/2)) as T → ∞. This agrees with a prediction from random matrix theory due to Mezzadri. Hence, for σ in this range the zeros of ζ′(s) are horizontally distributed like the zeros of the derivative of characteristic polynomials of random unitary matrices are radially distributed.
