We investigate the effects of classical stickiness (orbits temporarily confined to a region of the chaotic phase space) to the structures of the quantum states of an open system. We consider the standard map of the kicked rotor and verify…
Information scrambling, characterized by the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC), has attracted much attention, as it sheds new light on chaotic dynamics in quantum many-body systems. The scale invariance, which appears near the quantum…
In the large-$N$, classical limit, the Bose-Hubbard dimer undergoes a transition to chaos when its tunnelling rate is modulated in time. We use exact and approximate numerical simulations to determine the features of the dynamically…
In the study of chaotic behaviour of systems of many hard spheres, Lyapunov exponents of small absolute value exhibit interesting characteristics leading to speculations about connections to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Analytical…
Classical quasi-integrable systems are known to have Lyapunov times much shorter than their ergodicity time, but the situation for their quantum counterparts is less well understood. As a first example, we examine the quantum Lyapunov…
We present the results of a wavelet-based approach to the study of the chaotic dynamics of a one dimensional model that shows a direct transition to spatiotemporal chaos. We find that the dynamics of this model in the spatiotemporally…
Holographic theories with classical gravity duals are maximally chaotic; i.e., they saturate the universal bound on the rate of growth of chaos. It is interesting to ask whether this property is true only for leading large $N$ correlators…
The spreading of quantum information in closed systems, often termed scrambling, is a hallmark of many-body quantum dynamics. In open systems, scrambling competes with noise, errors and decoherence. Here, we provide a universal framework…
Turbulence is a complex spatial and temporal structure created by the strong non-linear dynamics of fluid flows at high Reynolds numbers. Despite being an ubiquitous phenomenon that has been studied for centuries, a full understanding of…
Non-linear dynamics is not a usually covered topic in undergraduate physics courses. However, its importance within classical mechanics and the general theory of dynamical systems is unquestionable. In this work we show that this subject…
Brains process information through the collective dynamics of large neural networks. Collective chaos was suggested to underlie the complex ongoing dynamics observed in cerebral cortical circuits and determine the impact and processing of…
Predictability is ensured by causality while lost in chaos. To reconcile these two popular notions, we study chaos in geodesic motions in generic curved spacetimes with external potentials, where causality is controlled by a scalar…
Signatures of chaos can be understood by studying quantum systems whose classical counterpart is chaotic. However, the concepts of integrability, non-integrability and chaos extend to systems without a classical analogue. Here, we first…
We study how probes of quantum scrambling dynamics respond to two kinds of imperfections -- unequal forward and backward evolutions and decoherence -- in a solvable Brownian circuit model. We calculate a ``renormalized'' out-of-time-order…
The Ising spin chain with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields is often used in studies of quantum chaos, displaying both chaotic and integrable regions in its parameter space. However, even at a strongly chaotic point this model…
We explore the dynamics of entanglement in classically chaotic systems by considering a multiqubit system that behaves collectively as a spin system obeying the dynamics of the quantum kicked top. In the classical limit, the kicked top…
We explore the connection between chaos, thermalization and ergodicity in a linear chain of $N$ interacting dipoles. Starting from the ground state, and considering chains of different numbers of dipoles, we introduce single site…
This article tackles a fundamental long-standing problem in quantum chaos, namely, whether quantum chaotic systems can exhibit sensitivity to initial conditions, in a form that directly generalizes the notion of classical chaos in phase…
In the past few years, there has been considerable activity around a set of quantum bounds on transport coefficients (viscosity) and chaos (Lyapunov exponent), relevant at low temperatures. The interest comes from the fact that Black-Hole…
We compute the one-loop effective action of two D0-branes in the matrix model for a cosmological background, and find vanishing static potential. However, there is a non-vanishing $v^2$ term not predicted in a supergravity calculation. This…
