Asymptotic Pseudospectra in Dissipative Floquet Quantum Systems: Geometric Structures and Observable Dynamics

arXiv:2609.37523v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In periodically driven open quantum systems, nonnormality renders the Floquet spectrum insufficient as the system approaches the thermodynamic limit, so that pseudospectra are needed to characterize the dynamics accurately. While conventional approaches mainly focus on the local dynamics of isolated pseudospectra, their global connections and the resulting physical consequences for observables have remained largely unexplored. Here, we uncover this collective behavior by classifying the unit disk into distinct domains of exponential, algebraic, and bounded accuracy according to the asymptotic size-scaling laws of pseudospectral residuals, yielding an underlying geometric structure. We demonstrate the physical implications of this structure through two exactly solvable models. First, in a dissipative shift chain, parameter tuning drives geometric transitions that are detectable via spin-wave observables. Second, in a chiral XY model, we use this geometric structure to explain the origin of a measurable phenomenon: two correlation signals exchange their retention order under continuous parameter tuning. Our findings not only establish a new theoretical paradigm for understanding dissipative Floquet quantum systems, but also predict geometry-driven observables for quantum computing experiments.
