Chaotic Hamiltonians are known to follow Random Matrix Theory (RMT) ensembles in the apparent randomness of their spectra and wavefunction statistics. Deviations form RMT also do occur, however, due to system-specific properties, or as…
Quantum chaotic systems are conjectured to display a spectrum whose fine-grained features (gaps and correlations) are well described by Random Matrix Theory (RMT). We propose and develop a complementary version of this conjecture: quantum…
Quantum many-body systems are commonly considered as quantum chaotic if their spectral statistics, such as the level spacing distribution, agree with those of random matrix theory. Using the example of the kicked Ising chain we demonstrate…
Scrambling is the delocalization of quantum information over a many-body system and underlies all quantum-chaotic dynamics. We employ discrete quantum cellular automata as classically simulable toy models of scrambling. We observe that…
