Quantum chaos and thermalization in isolated systems of interacting particles

F Borgonovi, FM Izrailev, LF Santos, VG Zelevinsky - Physics Reports, 2016 - Elsevier
This review is devoted to the problem of thermalization in a small isolated conglomerate of
interacting constituents. A variety of physically important systems of intensive current interest …

Onset of quantum chaos in one-dimensional bosonic and fermionic systems and its relation to thermalization

LF Santos, M Rigol - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2010 - APS
By means of full exact diagonalization, we study level statistics and the structure of the
eigenvectors of one-dimensional gapless bosonic and fermionic systems across the …

Localization and the effects of symmetries in the thermalization properties of one-dimensional quantum systems

LF Santos, M Rigol - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2010 - APS
We study how the proximity to an integrable point or to localization as one approaches the
atomic limit, as well as the mixing of symmetries in the chaotic domain, may affect the onset …

Onset of chaos and relaxation in isolated systems of interacting spins: Energy shell approach

LF Santos, F Borgonovi, FM Izrailev - … E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter …, 2012 - APS
We study the onset of chaos and statistical relaxation in two isolated dynamical quantum
systems of interacting spins 1/2, one of which is integrable and the other chaotic. Our …

Quantum chaos: An introduction via chains of interacting spins 1/2

A Gubin, LF Santos - American Journal of Physics, 2012 - pubs.aip.org
We introduce aspects of quantum chaos by analyzing the eigenvalues and the eigenstates
of quantum many-body systems. The properties of quantum systems whose classical …

Dissipative quantum dynamics, phase transitions, and non-Hermitian random matrices

M Prasad, HK Yadalam, C Aron, M Kulkarni - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We explore the connections between dissipative quantum phase transitions and non-
Hermitian random matrix theory. For this, we work in the framework of the dissipative Dicke …

Dynamical manifestations of quantum chaos: correlation hole and bulge

EJ Torres-Herrera, LF Santos - … Transactions of the …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A main feature of a chaotic quantum system is a rigid spectrum where the levels do not
cross. We discuss how the presence of level repulsion in lattice many-body quantum …

Local quenches with global effects in interacting quantum systems

EJ Torres-Herrera, LF Santos - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We study one-dimensional lattices of interacting spins-1 2 and show that the effects of
quenching the amplitude of a local magnetic field applied to a single site of the lattice can be …

Local dynamics and the structure of chaotic eigenstates

ZD Shi, S Vardhan, H Liu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We identify properties of the energy eigenstates in a family of chaotic spin-chain systems
with local interactions, which distinguish them both from integrable systems and from …

Quantum chaos, delocalization, and entanglement in disordered Heisenberg models

WG Brown, LF Santos, DJ Starling, L Viola - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2008 - APS
We investigate disordered one-and two-dimensional Heisenberg spin lattices across the
transition from integrability to quantum chaos from both statistical many-body and quantum …
