We propose a novel indicator for chaotic quantum scattering processes, the scattering form factor (ScFF). It is based on mapping the locations of peaks in the scattering amplitude to random matrix eigenvalues, and computing the analog of…

The chiral SYK model is an 1+1 dimensional generalisation of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model with chiral Majorana fermions and homogeneous random interactions. In the large N limit, the model admits an exact solution of the two-point function…

We argue that at finite energies, double-scaled SYK has a semiclassical approximation controlled by a coupling $\lambda $ in which all observables are governed by a non-trivial saddle point. The Liouville description of double-scaled SYK…

The SYK model consists of $N\gg 1$ fermions in $0+1$ dimensions with a random, all-to-all quartic interaction. Recently, Kitaev has found that the SYK model is maximally chaotic and has proposed it as a model of holography. We solve the…

We study chaos in a classical limit of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model obtained in a suitably defined large-S limit. The low-temperature Lyapunov exponent is found to depend linearly on temperature, with a slope that is parametrically…

We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, $N$ fermions with a $q$-body interaction of infinite range, coupled to a Markovian environment. Close to the infinite-temperature steady state, the real-time…

We construct a new family of quantum chaotic models by combining multiple copies of integrable commuting SYK models. As each copy of the commuting SYK model does not commute with others, this construction breaks the integrability of each…
