Quantum chaos cannot develop faster than $\lambda \leq 2 \pi/(\hbar \beta)$ for systems in thermal equilibrium [Maldacena, Shenker & Stanford, JHEP (2016)]. This `MSS bound' on the Lyapunov exponent $\lambda$ is set by the width of the…

The spectral form factor (SFF) is an important diagnostic of energy level repulsion in random matrix theory (RMT) and quantum chaos. The short-time behavior of the SFF as it approaches the RMT result acts as a diagnostic of the ergodicity…
