Topological spectral form factor reveals emergent non-Hermitian single-particle transitions from many-body quantum chaos

Daniel Harkin, Chun Y. Leung, Amos Chan

In equilibrium, topological defect insertions in quantum and classical partition functions provide non-perturbative probes of phase transitions beyond local observables. In non-equ…

Many-body quantum chaos and time reversal symmetry

Weijun Wu, Saumya Shivam, Amos Chan

We investigate universal signatures of quantum chaos in the presence of time reversal symmetry (TRS) in generic many body quantum chaotic systems (gMBQCs). We study three classes o…

Spectral form factor in chaotic, localized, and integrable open quantum many-body systems

Jiachen Li, Stephen Yan, Tomaž Prosen +1

We numerically study the spectral statistics of open quantum many-body systems (OQMBS) as signatures of quantum chaos (or the lack thereof), using the dissipative spectral form fac…

Universal distributions of overlaps from generic dynamics in quantum many-body systems

Alexios Christopoulos, Amos Chan, Andrea De Luca

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…

Measuring Spectral Form Factor in Many-Body Chaotic and Localized Phases of Quantum Processors

Hang Dong, Pengfei Zhang, Ceren B. Dag +28

The spectral form factor (SFF) captures universal spectral fluctuations as signatures of quantum chaos, and has been instrumental in advancing multiple frontiers of physics includi…

Projected state ensemble of a generic model of many-body quantum chaos

Amos Chan, Andrea De Luca

The projected ensemble is based on the study of the quantum state of a subsystem conditioned on projective measurements in its complement. Recent studies have observed that a m…

Out-of-time-order correlator, many-body quantum chaos, light-like generators, and singular values

Ke Huang, Xiao Li, David A. Huse +1

We study out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) of local operators in spatial-temporal invariant or random quantum circuits using light-like generators (LLG) -- many-body operators…

Many-body quantum chaos in stroboscopically-driven cold atoms

Ceren B. Dag, Simeon I. Mistakidis, Amos Chan +1

In quantum chaotic systems, the spectral form factor (SFF), defined as the Fourier transform of the two-level spectral correlation function, is known to follow random matrix theory…

Many-body quantum chaos and emergence of Ginibre ensemble

Saumya Shivam, Andrea De Luca, David A. Huse +1

We show that non-Hermitian Ginibre random matrix behaviors emerge in spatially-extended many-body quantum chaotic systems in the space direction, just as Hermitian random matrix be…

Height-conserving quantum dimer models

Zheng Yan, Zi Yang Meng, David A. Huse +1

We propose a height-conserving quantum dimer model (hQDM) such that the lattice sum of its associated height field is conserved, and that it admits a Rokhsar-Kivelson (RK) point. T…

Many-Body Quantum Chaos and Space-time Translational Invariance

Amos Chan, Saumya Shivam, David A. Huse +1

We study the consequences of having translational invariance in space and in time in many-body quantum chaotic systems. We consider an ensemble of random quantum circuits, composed…

Quantum Circuits Reproduce Experimental Two-dimensional Many-body Localization Transition Point

Joey Li, Amos Chan, Thorsten B. Wahl

While many studies point towards the existence of many-body localization (MBL) in one dimension, the fate of higher-dimensional strongly disordered systems is a topic of current de…

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…
