The dynamics of a single qubit randomly colliding with an environment consisting of just two qubits is discussed. It is shown that the system reaches an equilibrium state which coincides with a pure random state of three qubits. Furthermore the time average and the ensemble averages of the quantities used to characterize the approach to equilibrium (purity and tangles) coincide, a signature of ergodic behavior.

Abstract

The dynamics of a single qubit randomly colliding with an environment consisting of just two qubits is discussed. It is shown that the system reaches an equilibrium state which coincides with a pure random state of three qubits. Furthermore the time average and the ensemble averages of the quantities used to characterize the approach to equilibrium (purity and tangles) coincide, a signature of ergodic behavior.
