• Abstract summary: We study the time evolution operator in a family of local quantum circuits with random fields in a fixed direction. We show that for the systems under consideration the generalised spectral form factor can be expressed in terms of dynamical correlation functions. This also provides a connection between the many-body Thouless time $tau_rm th$ -- the time at which the generalised spectral form factor starts following the random matrix theory prediction -- and the conservation laws of the system.

• Abstract: We study the time evolution operator in a family of local quantum circuits with random fields in a fixed direction. We argue that the presence of quantum chaos implies that at large times the time evolution operator becomes effectively a random matrix in the many-body Hilbert space. To quantify this phenomenon we compute analytically the squared magnitude of the trace of the evolution operator -- the generalised spectral form factor -- and compare it with the prediction of Random Matrix Theory (RMT). We show that for the systems under consideration the generalised spectral form factor can be expressed in terms of dynamical correlation functions of local observables in the infinite temperature state, linking chaotic and ergodic properties of the systems. This also provides a connection between the many-body Thouless time $\tau_{\rm th}$ -- the time at which the generalised spectral form factor starts following the random matrix theory prediction -- and the conservation laws of the system. Moreover, we explain different scalings of $\tau_{\rm th}$ with the system size, observed for systems with and without the conservation laws.

This unexpected structure in the temporal entanglement spectrum might be the key to an efficient computational implementation of the space evolution.

  Phase transitions correspond to the singular behavior of physical systems in response to continuous control parameters like temperature or external fields. Near continuous phase transitions, associated with the divergence of a correlation length, universal power-law scaling behavior with critical exponents independent of microscopic system details is found.

We show that the evolution of local observables and the spectral form factor are determined by the same quantum channel. We provide a perturbative characterisation of the dynamics and, in particular, of the time-scale for thermalisation.
