A remarkable feature of chaos in many-body quantum systems is the existence of a bound on the quantum Lyapunov exponent. An important question is to understand what is special about maximally chaotic systems which saturate this bound. Here…

We investigate the chaotic phase of the Bose-Hubbard model [L. Pausch et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 150601 (2021)] in relation to the bosonic embedded random matrix ensemble, which mirrors the dominant few-body nature of many-particle…
