We identify a structure, common to all maps consisting of a simple kernel perturbed by diffraction effects. This "essential" baker's map has a different semiclassical limit and can be diagonalized analytically for Hilbert spaces spanned by qubits. In all cases this kernel provides an accurate approximation to the spectral properties - eigenvalues and eigenfunctions - of all the different quantizations.11 pages, 17 figuresChaotic DynamicsQuantum Physicstext
