- Abstract: A remarkable feature of chaos in many-body quantum systems is the existence
of a bound on the quantum Lyapunov exponent. An important question is to
understand what is special about maximally chaotic systems which saturate this
bound. Here we provide further evidence for the `hydrodynamic' origin of chaos
in such systems, and discuss hallmarks of maximally chaotic systems. We first
provide evidence that a hydrodynamic effective field theory of chaos we
previously proposed should be understood as a theory of maximally chaotic
systems. We then emphasize and make explicit a signature of maximal chaos which
was only implicit in prior literature, namely the suppression of exponential
growth in commutator squares of generic few-body operators. We provide a
general argument for this suppression within our chaos effective field theory,
and illustrate it using SYK models and holographic systems. We speculate that
this suppression indicates that the nature of operator scrambling in maximally
chaotic systems is fundamentally different to scrambling in non-maximally
chaotic systems. We also discuss a simplest scenario for the existence of a
maximally chaotic regime at sufficiently large distances even for non-maximally
chaotic systems.

We show that quantum mechanics hinders chaos in many-body systems.
Although the quantum eigenstates are thermal and strongly entangled, exponentially many of them are scarred.
Scarring makes the system more likely to be found on an orbit it was on, retaining a memory of its past and thus weakly breaking ergodicity.

We identify two different classes: the near edge physics of sparse'' and the near edge of dense'' chaotic systems.
The distinction lies in the ratio between the number of a system's random parameters and its Hilbert space dimension.
While the two families share identical spectral correlations at energy scales comparable to the level spacing, the density of states and its fluctuations near the edge are different.

Quantum chaos, a phenomenon that began to be studied in the last century, still does not have a rigorous understanding.
We propose the quantum chaos definition in the manner similar to the classical one using decoherent histories as a quantum analogue of trajectories.
We show that for such a model, the production of entropy of decoherent histories is radically different in integrable and chaotic regimes.

In particular, we determine the line of uniformity in phase space along which the post-activation distribution has maximum entropy.

adiabatic passage [0.0]
A nonlinear stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) is a fascinating physical process that dynamically explores chaotic and non-chaotic phases.
With the aim of extracting quantum signatures of a classically chaotic system, it is shown that an out-of-time-ordered correlator captures chaotic/non-chaotic features of the system.
A dynamics through the chaotic phase is associated with spreading of many-body quantum state and an irreversible increase in the number of participating adiabatic eigenstates.
