Explicit probability distributions for the minimal spacing for various ensembles are derived for N = 4. We study ensembles of tensor product of k random unitary matrices of size n which describe independent evolution of a composite quantum system consisting of k subsystems. In the asymptotic case, as the total dimension N = n^k becomes large, the nearest neighbor distribution P(s) becomes Poissonian, but statistics of extreme spacings P(s_min) and P(s_max) reveal certain deviations from the Poissonian behavior.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v5", "updated": "2013-06-11T07:37:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.45.Pq", "02.70.-c", "11.55.-m" ], "keywords": [ "random unitary matrices", "extremal spacings", "tensor product", "eigenphases", "nearest neighbor distribution" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review E", "year": 2013, "month": "Nov", "volume": 88, "number": 5, "pages": "052902" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013PhRvE..88e2902S" } } }
