Action-Quantized Scar Multiplets and Dissipative Cat States from Fractal Period-Locking in the Open Quantum Baker Map
Abstract
We open the quantum baker map with a position window of width w and center qc. Classical pruning tiles the (qc,w) plane into diamonds where the T leading resonances form root-of-unity multiplets. At w=1/2 one periodic orbit survives for almost every qc, and the multiplets are quantized without free parameters: their modulus 2−1/2 saturates the pressure bound and their phase is the orbit action. They form cycling multicomponent cat states, and the opening becomes one mid-circuit measurement, enabling spectroscopy with ∼102 shots on quantum processors.

AB - We open the quantum baker map with a position window of width w and center q_c. Classical pruning tiles the (q_c,w) plane into diamonds where the T leading resonances form root-of-unity multiplets. At w=1/2 one periodic orbit survives for almost every q_c, and the multiplets are quantized without free parameters: their modulus 2^−1/2 saturates the pressure bound and their phase is the orbit action. They form cycling multicomponent cat states, and the opening becomes one mid-circuit measurement, enabling spectroscopy with ∼10^2 shots on quantum processors.
