Spectral Statistics of Non-Hermitian Matrices and Dissipative Quantum Chaos

Jiachen Li, Tomaž Prosen, Amos Chan

We propose a measure, which we call the dissipative spectral form factor (DSFF), to characterize the spectral statistics of non-Hermitian (and non-Unitary) matrices. We show that D…

Spectral Lyapunov exponents in chaotic and localized many-body quantum systems

Amos Chan, Andrea De Luca, J. T. Chalker

We consider the spectral statistics of the Floquet operator for disordered, periodically driven spin chains in their quantum chaotic and many-body localized phases (MBL). The spect…

Classification of symmetry-protected topological phases in two-dimensional many body-localized systems

Joey Li, Amos Chan, Thorsten B. Wahl

We use low-depth quantum circuits, a specific type of tensor networks, to classify two-dimensional symmetry-protected topological many-body localized phases. For (anti-)unitary on-…

Spectral statistics and many-body quantum chaos with conserved charge

Aaron J. Friedman, Amos Chan, Andrea De Luca +1

We investigate spectral statistics in spatially extended, chaotic many-body quantum systems with a conserved charge. We compute the spectral form factor analytically for a m…

Eigenstate Correlations, Thermalization and the Butterfly Effect

Amos Chan, Andrea De Luca, J. T. Chalker

We discuss eigenstate correlations for ergodic, spatially extended many-body quantum systems, in terms of the statistical properties of matrix elements of local observables. While…

Unitary-projective entanglement dynamics

Amos Chan, Rahul M. Nandkishore, Michael Pretko +1

Starting from a state of low quantum entanglement, local unitary time evolution increases the entanglement of a quantum many-body system. In contrast, local projective measurements…
