Abstract:
We consider two Hamiltonians that are close to each other, , and analyze the time decay of the corresponding Loschmidt echo that expresses the effect of an imperfect time reversal on the initial state . Our model Hamiltonians are deformed Wigner matrices that do not share a common eigenbasis. The main tools are new two-resolvent laws for such and .

Imagine the sound is reflected back to the ears. Assuming that the source is very close to the human, the difference between hearing the two sounds—the emitted sound and the reflected sound—may be more than the minimum time for perceiving distinct sounds. If this is the case,...
