We study the SYK model with complex fermions, in the presence of an all-to-all $q$-body interaction, with a non-vanishing chemical potential. We find that, in the large $q$ limit, this model can be solved exactly and the corresponding…

We present an exact solution in the large-$N$ limit of the L\'{e}vy Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (LSYK) model introduced in Ref. [1], wherein the couplings are drawn from a L\'{e}vy Stable distribution parameterized by a tail exponent $\mu \in [0,…

One of the most promising routes to non-fermi liquids and strange metals has been through SYK models \cite{Sachdev:2010um}, which necessarily involve large flavor degrees of freedom and interactions with imposed disorder. We introduce an…

In closed generic many-body systems, unitary evolution disperses local quantum information into highly non-local objects, resulting in thermalization. Such a process is called information scrambling, whose swiftness is quantified by the…

Random spin systems at low temperatures are glassy and feature computational hardness in finding low-energy states. We study the random all-to-all interacting fermionic Sachdev--Ye--Kitaev (SYK) model and prove that, in contrast, (I) the…

An exactly solvable Kitaev model in a two-dimensional square lattice exhibits a topological quantum phase transition which is different from the symmetry-breaking transition at zero temperature. When the ground state of a nonlinearly…
