In this note we study chaos in generic quantum systems with a global symmetry generalizing seminal work [arXiv : 1503.01409] by Maldacena, Shenker and Stanford. We conjecture a bound on instantaneous chaos exponent in a thermodynamic ensemble at temperature $T$ and chemical potential $mu$ for the continuous global symmetry under consideration. For local operators which could create excitation up to some fixed charge, the bound on chaos (Lyapunov) exponent is independent of chemical potential $lambda_L leq frac{2 pi T}{ hbar} $. On the other hand when the operators could create excitation of arbitrary high charge, we find that exponent must satisfy $lambda_L leq frac{2 pi T}{(1-|frac{mu}{mu_c}|) hbar} $, where $mu_c$ is the maximum value of chemical potential for which the thermodynamic ensemble makes sense. As specific examples of quantum mechanical systems we consider conformal field theories. In a generic conformal field theory with internal $U(1)$ symmetry living on a cylinder the former bound is applicable, whereas in more interesting examples of holographic two dimensional conformal field theories dual to Einstein gravity, we argue that later bound is saturated in presence of a non-zero chemical potential for rotation.

Chaotic quantum many-body dynamics typically lead to relaxation of local observables. In this process, known as quantum thermalization, a subregion reaches a thermal state due to quantum correlations with the remainder of the system, which acts as an
intrinsic bath. While the bath is generally assumed to be unobserved, modern quantum science experiments have the ability to track both subsystem and bath at a microscopic level. Here, by utilizing this ability, we discover that measurement results associated with small subsystems exhibit universal random statistics following chaotic quantum many-body dynamics, a phenomenon beyond the standard paradigm of quantum thermalization. We explain these observations with an ensemble of pure states, defined via correlations with the bath, that dynamically acquires a close to random distribution. Such random ensembles play an important role in quantum information science, associated with quantum supremacy tests and device verification, but typically require highly-engineered, time-dependent control for their preparation. In contrast, our approach uncovers random ensembles naturally emerging from evolution with a time-independent Hamiltonian. As an application of this emergent randomness, we develop a benchmarking protocol which estimates the many-body fidelity during generic chaotic evolution and demonstrate it using our Rydberg quantum simulator. Our work has wide ranging implications for the understanding of quantum many-body chaos and thermalization in terms of emergent randomness and at the same time paves the way for applications of this concept in a much wider context.
The dynamics of chaotic systems are, by definition, exponentially sensitive to initial conditions and may appear rather random. In this work, we explore relations between the chaotic dynamics of an observable and the dynamics of information (entropy)
contained in this observable, focussing on a disordered metal coupled to a dissipative, e.g. phononic, bath. The chaotic dynamics is characterised by Lyapunov exponents $lambda$, the rates of growth of out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs), quantities of the form $langle[hat A(t),hat B(0)]^{2}rangleproptoexp(2lambda t)$, where $hat A$ and $hat B$ are the operators of, e.g., the total current of electrons in a metallic quantum dot. We demonstrate that the Lyapunov exponent $lambda$ matches the rate of decay of information stored in the observable $langle hat A(t)rangle$ after applying a small perturbation with a small classical uncertainty. This relation suggests a way to measure Lyapunov exponents in experiment. We compute both the Lyapunov exponent and the rate of decay of information microscopically in a disordered metal in the presence of a bosonic bath, which may, in particular, represent interactions in the system. For a sufficiently short range of the correlations in the bath, the exponent has the form $lambda=lambda_{0}-1/tau$, where $lambda_{0}$ is the (temperature-independent) Lyapunov exponent in the absence of the bath and $1/tau$ is the inelastic scattering rate. Our results demonstrate also the existence of a transition between chaotic and non-chaotic behaviour at $lambda_{0}=1/tau$, which may be triggered, e.g., by changing the temperature of the bath.
We analyze the spectral properties of a $d$-dimensional HyperCubic (HC) lattice model originally introduced by Parisi. The U(1) gauge links of this model give rise to a magnetic flux of constant magnitude $phi$ but random orientation through the face
s of the hypercube. The HC model, which also can be written as a model of $2d$ interacting Majorana fermions, has a spectral flow that is reminiscent of the Maldacena-Qi (MQ) model, and its spectrum at $phi=0$, actually coincides with the coupling term of the MQ model. As was already shown by Parisi, at leading order in $1/d$ , the spectral density of this model is given by the density function of the Q-Hermite polynomials, which is also the spectral density of the double-scaled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. Parisi demonstrated this by mapping the moments of the HC model to $Q$-weighted sums on chord diagrams. We point out that the subleading moments of the HC model can also be mapped to weighted sums on chord diagrams, in a manner that descends from the leading moments. The HC model has a magnetic inversion symmetry that depends on both the magnitude and the orientation of the magnetic flux through the faces of the hypercube. The spectrum for fixed quantum number of this symmetry exhibits a transition from regular spectra at $phi=0$ to chaotic spectra with spectral statistics given by the Gaussian Unitary Ensembles (GUE) for larger values of $phi$. For small magnetic flux, the ground state is gapped and is close to a Thermofield Double (TFD) state.
Motivated by the recent shocking results from RHIC and LHC that show quark-gluon plasma signatures in small systems, we study a simple model of a massless, noninteracting scalar field confined with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use this system to
investigate the finite size corrections to thermal field theoretically derived quantities compared to the usual Stefan-Boltzmann limit of an ideal gas not confined in any direction. Two equivalent expressions with different numerical convergence properties are found for the free energy in $D$ rectilinear spacetime dimensions with $cle D-1$ spatial dimensions of finite extent. We find that the First Law of Thermodynamics generalizes such that the pressure depends on direction but that the Third Law is respected. For systems with finite dimension(s) but infinite volumes, such as a field constrained between two parallel plates or a rectangular tube, the relative fluctuations in energy are zero, and hence the canonical and microcanonical ensembles are equivalent. We present precise numerical results for the free energy, total internal energy, pressure, entropy, and heat capacity of our field between parallel plates, in a tube, and in finite volume boxes of various sizes in 4 spacetime dimensions. For temperatures and system sizes relevant for heavy ion phenomenology, we find large deviations from the Stefan-Boltzmann limit for these quantities, especially for the pressure. Further investigation of an isolated system of fields constrained between parallel plates reveals a divergent isoenergetic compressibility at a critical length $L_csim1/T$. We have thus discovered a new second order phase transition via a first principles calculation, a transition that is driven by the size of the system.
Protected zero modes in quantum physics traditionally arise in the context of ground states of many-body Hamiltonians. Here we study the case where zero modes exist in the center of a reflection-symmetric many-body spectrum, giving rise to the notion
of a protected infinite-temperature degeneracy. For a certain class of nonintegrable spin chains, we show that the number of zero modes is determined by a chiral index that grows exponentially with system size. We propose a dynamical protocol, feasible in ongoing experiments in Rydberg atom quantum simulators, to detect these many-body zero modes and their protecting spectral reflection symmetry. Finally, we consider whether the zero energy states obey the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, as is expected of states in the middle of the many-body spectrum. We find intriguing differences in their eigenstate properties relative to those of nearby nonzero-energy eigenstates at finite system sizes.
