Python Implementation of the Relativistic Rolling Shutter (Relativistic halt) Model
Abstract
Abstract This repository contains Python source code (using Qiskit) demonstrating the "Operational Irreversibility" in chaotic quantum systems under strict relativistic constraints. Key Experiments: The Rolling Shutter Effect: Simulates a deterministic chaotic system where the reversal operator is subjected to a signal propagation delay (Lieb-Robinson bound). It demonstrates a sharp phase transition from recoverability (F=1.0) to thermalization (F=0.5) when the signal lag exceeds the scrambling time. Precise Scaling Verification: Verifies the proposed "Omega" criterion ($\Omega = \lambda L / c$). The data shows a universal collapse at $\Omega = 1$ across different system sizes (L=6, L=12), confirming the geometric necessity of information loss due to causal horizons. Usage: Run the scripts to reproduce the phase transition plots. Requires qiskit, qiskit-aer, and matplotlib.
