• Abstract: We verify that the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) holds universally for locally interacting quantum many-body systems. Introducing random-matrix ensembles with interactions, we numerically obtain a distribution of maximum fluctuations of eigenstate expectation values for different realizations of the interactions. This distribution, which cannot be obtained from the conventional random matrix theory involving nonlocal correlations, demonstrates that an overwhelming majority of pairs of local Hamiltonians and observables satisfy the ETH with exponentially small fluctuations. The ergodicity of our random matrix ensembles breaks down due to locality.

  We derive entrywise error bounds for low-rank approximations of kernel matrices obtained using the truncated eigen-decomposition. A key technical innovation is a delocalisation result for the eigenvectors of the kernel matrix corresponding to small eigenvalues. We validate our theory with an empirical study of a collection of synthetic and real-world datasets.

• Eigenstate correlations, the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, and quantum information dynamics in chaotic many-body quantum systems [0.0]
  We consider correlations between eigenstates specific to spatially extended systems and that characterise entanglement dynamics and operator spreading. The correlations associated with scrambling of quantum information lie outside the standard framework established by the eigenstate thermalisation hypothesis (ETH) We establish the simplest correlation function that captures these correlations and discuss features of its behaviour that are expected to be universal at long distances and low energies.

  Quantum many-body systems are commonly considered as quantum chaotic if their spectral statistics agree with those of random matrix theory. We demonstrate that even if both level spacing distribution and eigenvector statistics agree well with random matrix predictions, the entanglement entropy deviates from the expected Page curve.

• Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians Violate the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis [0.0]
  Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) represents a cornerstone in the theoretical understanding of the emergence of thermal behavior in closed quantum systems. We investigate what extent the ETH holds in non-Hermitian many-body systems. We come to the surprising conclusion that the fluctuations between eigenstates is of equal order to the average, indicating no thermalization.

We show explicitly that the OTOC is indeed a precise tool to explore the fine details of the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) We provide an estimation of the finite-size scaling of $omega_textrmGOE$ for the general class of observables composed of sums of local operators in the infinite-temperature regime.

  We present a theory of localisation in quasiperiodic chains with nearest-neighbour hoppings, based on the convergence of local propagators. Analysing the convergence of these continued fractions, localisation or its absence can be determined, yielding in turn the critical points and mobility edges. Results are exemplified by analysing the theory for three quasiperiodic models covering a range of behaviour.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
