• Abstract: The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis provides to date the most successful description of thermalization in isolated quantum systems by conjecturing statistical properties of matrix elements of typical operators in the (quasi-)energy eigenbasis. Here we study the distribution of matrix elements for a class of operators in dual-unitary quantum circuits in dependence of the frequency associated with the corresponding eigenstates. We provide an exact asymptotic expression for the spectral function, i.e., the second moment of this frequency resolved distribution. The latter is obtained from the decay of dynamical correlations between local operators which can be computed exactly from the elementary building blocks of the dual-unitary circuits. Comparing the asymptotic expression with results obtained by exact diagonalization we find excellent agreement. Small fluctuations at finite system size are explicitly related to dynamical correlations at intermediate times and the deviations from their asymptotical dynamics. Moreover, we confirm the expected Gaussian distribution of the matrix elements by computing higher moments numerically.

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.

• Eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and its deviations from random-matrix theory beyond the thermalization time [0.0]
  Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis (ETH) explains emergence of the thermodynamic equilibrium by assuming a particular structure of observable's matrix elements in the energy eigenbasis. We introduce a novel numerical approach to probe correlations between matrix elements for Hilbert-space dimensions beyond those accessible for exact diagonalization. Considering nonintegrable quantum spin chains, we observe that genuine RMT behavior is absent even for narrow energy windows corresponding to time scales of the order of thermalization time $tau_textth$ of the respective observables.
