We introduce "local uncertainty relations" in thermal many body systems. Using these relations, we derive basic bounds. These results include the demonstration of universal non-relativistic speed limits (regardless of interaction range),…
We provide a detailed examination of a thermal out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) growing exponentially in time in systems without chaos. The system is a one-dimensional quantum mechanics with a potential whose part is an inverted harmonic…

We investigate the many-body quantum chaos of non-Fermi liquid states with Fermi surfaces in two spatial dimensions by computing their out-of-time-order correlation functions. Using a recently proposed large $N$ theory for the critical…
It is frequently asserted that in a chaotic system two initially close points will separate at an exponential rate governed by the largest global Lyapunov exponent. Local Lyapunov exponents, however, are more directly relevant to…
For current fluctuations in non-equilibrium steady states of Markovian processes, we derive four different universal bounds valid beyond the Gaussian regime. Different variants of these bounds apply to either the entropy change or any…
We show that the known bound on the growth rate of the out-of-time-order four-point correlator in chaotic many-body quantum systems follows directly from the general structure of operator matrix elements in systems that obey the eigenstate…
We consider the cumulant generating function of the logarithm of the distance between two infinitesimally close trajectories of a chaotic system. Its long-time behavior is given by the generalized Lyapunov exponent $\gamma(k)$ providing the…
The deterministic equations describing the dynamics of the atmosphere (and of the climate system) are known to display the property of sensitivity to initial conditions. In the ergodic theory of chaos this property is usually quantified by…
The robustness of the universality class concept of the chaotic transition was investigated by analytically obtaining its critical exponent for a wide class of maps. In particular, we extended the existing one-dimensional chaotic maps,…
The local equilibration time of quantum many-body systems has been conjectured to satisfy a `Planckian bound', $\tau_{\rm eq}\gtrsim \frac{\hbar}{T}$. We provide a sharp and universal definition of this time scale, and show that it is…
We formulate the conditions under which the dynamics of a continuously measured quantum system becomes indistinguishable from that of the corresponding classical system. In particular, we demonstrate that even in a classically chaotic…
We discuss the behavior of the largest Lyapunov exponent $\lambda$ in the incoherent phase of large ensembles of heterogeneous, globally-coupled, phase oscillators. We show that the scaling with the system size $N$ depends on the details of…
For quantum theories with a classical limit (which includes the large N limits of typical field theories), we derive a hierarchy of evolution equations for equal time correlators which systematically incorporate corrections to the limiting…
We study the distribution of overlaps with the computational basis of a quantum state generated under generic quantum many-body chaotic dynamics, without conserved quantities, for a finite time $t$. We argue that, scaling time…
For a system near a quantum critical point (QCP), above its lower critical dimension $d_L$, there is in general a critical line of second order phase transitions that separates the broken symmetry phase at finite temperatures from the…
We calculate the system-size-over-wave-length ($M$) dependence of sample-to-sample conductance fluctuations, using the open kicked rotator to model chaotic scattering in a ballistic quantum dot coupled by two $N$-mode point contacts to…
Mean-field systems provide a natural framework in which collective effects persist as the number of degrees of freedom N increases, raising fundamental questions about the emergence of integrability and the nature of chaos in large but…

The scaling behavior of the maximal Lyapunov exponent in chaotic systems with time-delayed feedback is investigated. For large delay times it has been shown that the delay-dependence of the exponent allows a distinction between strong and…
