Coupled Arnol'd cat maps on circulant graphs

This paper investigates the chaotic properties of Arnol'd cat maps (ACMs) coupled on the nodes of a circulant graph. By demanding that the system's evolution matrix be symplectic, we determine the coupling matrix, which is naturally interpreted as the adjacency matrix of a circulant graph. Specifically, the study analyses the system's Lyapunov spectra and Kolmogorov-Sinai (K-S) entropy. Numerical simulations yield the counterintuitive result that the entropy production does not increase as the connectivity of the graph increases, due to the translational symmetry of the circulant graph. Moreover, we analyse the spectra of the periods of the evolution matrix on a finite toroidal phase space of the dynamical system.

Construction of Metaplectic Representations of $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}_{2^n})$ and Twisted Magnetic Translations

Unitary metaplectic representations of the group $SL_2(\mathbb{Z}_{2^n})$ are necessary to describe the evolution of $2^n$-dimensional quantum systems, such as systems involving $n$ qubits. It is shown that in order for the metaplectic property to be fulfilled, an increase in the dimensionality of the involved $n$-qubit Hilbert spaces, from $2^n$ to $2^{2n}$, is necessary. Thus we construct the general matrix form of such representations based on the magnetic translations of the diagonal subgroup $HW_{2^n} \otimes HW_{2^n}$. Comparisson with other approaches on this problem of the literature are discussed.
