Reversibility in finite-dimensional collapse dynamics (2512.12862v1)

Abstract: We study finite-dimensional quantum systems with arbitrary, discontinuous collapse events. Formally, we fix a realization map (a physically admissible selector of the collapse dynamics) and do not rely on any regularity of the induced dynamics. We prove the existence of a topologically closed, invariant subset of the projective state space in which any two states can be connected with arbitrarily fine Fubini-Study precision and arbitrarily small integrated energetic cost. This shows that the preservation of information along a realized branch guarantees islands of quasi-reversibility, while genuine irreversibility requires additional ingredients such as non-compactness, explicit erasure, or coupling to reservoirs.
