Integrable quantum systems of finite size are generically robust against weak enough integrability-breaking perturbations, but become quantum chaotic and thermalizing if the integrability-breaking is strong enough. We argue that the onset…

We demonstrate that the unitary dynamics of a multi-qubit system can display hypersensitivity to initial state perturbation. This contradicts the common belief that the classical approach based on the exponential divergence of initially…
Interacting many-body quantum systems and their dynamics, while fundamental to modern science and technology, are formidable to simulate and understand. However, by discovering their symmetries, conservation laws, and integrability one can…
