Probing many-body quantum chaos with quantum simulators

LK Joshi, A Elben, A Vikram, B Vermersch, V Galitski… - Physical Review X, 2022 - APS
The spectral form factor (SFF), characterizing statistics of energy eigenvalues, is a key
diagnostic of many-body quantum chaos. In addition, partial spectral form factors (PSFFs) …

From Anderson localization on random regular graphs to many-body localization

KS Tikhonov, AD Mirlin - Annals of Physics, 2021 - Elsevier

thermalization of quantum many-body systems. Often, the global energy and particle number …

From operator statistics to wormholes

A Altland, D Bagrets, P Nayak, J Sonner… - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
For a generic quantum many-body system, the quantum ergodic regime is defined as the
limit in which the spectrum of the system resembles that of a random matrix theory (RMT) in …

Delayed thermalization in the mass-deformed Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

DK Nandy, T Čadež, B Dietz, A Andreanov, D Rosa - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We study the thermalizing properties of the mass-deformed Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, in a
regime of parameters where the eigenstates are ergodically extended over just portions of …

A cavity quantum electrodynamics implementation of the Sachdev--Ye--Kitaev model

P Uhrich, S Bandyopadhyay, N Sauerwein… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org

Many-body localization enables iterative quantum optimization

H Wang, HC Yeh, A Kamenev - Nature communications, 2022 - nature.com
Many discrete optimization problems are exponentially hard due to the underlying glassy
landscape. This means that the optimization cost exhibits multiple local minima separated by …

Emergence of Fermi's golden rule

T Micklitz, A Morningstar, A Altland, DA Huse - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
Fermi's golden rule applies in the limit where an initial quantum state is weakly coupled to a
continuum of other final states overlapping its energy. Here we investigate what happens …
