Fidelity Recovery in the Gaussian Ensembles.
R. Schäfer and H.-J. Stöckmann

Using supersymmetry techniques analytical expressions for the average of the fidelity amplitude are obtained, where , and H0 and H1 are matrices of rank N, taken from the Gaussian unitary ensemble (GUE) or the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE), respectively. For small perturbation strengths a Gaussian decay of the fidelity amplitude is observed, whereas for stronger perturbations a change to a single-exponential decay takes place. Close to the Heisenberg time , however, a partial revival of the fidelity is found. It can be interpreted in terms of an spectral analogue of the Debye-Waller factor, describing in X-ray spectroscopy the decrease of von Laue reflexes with increasing temperature.
Key words: random matrix theory, fidelity
