• Abstract summary: For Hermitian Hamiltonians, quantum chaotic motion is related to random matrix theory spectral correlations. We show that local level statistics, which probe the dynamics around the Heisenberg time, of a non-Hermitian $q$-body Sachdev-Ye-Kitev model with $N$ Majorana fermions, are also well described by random matrix theory. We identify $19$ out of the $38$ non-Hermitian universality classes in the nHSYK model, including those corresponding to the way.

• Abstract: Spectral correlations are a powerful tool to study the dynamics of quantum many-body systems. For Hermitian Hamiltonians, quantum chaotic motion is related to random matrix theory spectral correlations. Based on recent progress in the application of spectral analysis to non-Hermitian quantum systems, we show that local level statistics, which probe the dynamics around the Heisenberg time, of a non-Hermitian $q$-body Sachdev-Ye-Kitev (nHSYK) model with $N$ Majorana fermions, and its chiral and complex-fermion extensions, are also well described by random matrix theory for $q > 2$, while for $q = 2$, they are given by the equivalent of Poisson statistics. For that comparison, we combine exact diagonalization numerical techniques with analytical results obtained for some of the random matrix spectral observables. Moreover, depending on $q$ and $N$, we identify $19$ out of the $38$ non-Hermitian universality classes in the nHSYK model, including those corresponding to the tenfold way. In particular, we realize explicitly $14$ out of the $15$ universality classes corresponding to non-pseudo-Hermitian Hamiltonians that involve universal bulk correlations of classes ${\rm AI}^\dagger$ and ${\rm AII}^\dagger$, beyond the Ginibre ensembles. These results provide strong evidence of striking universal features in non-unitary many-body quantum chaos, which in all cases can be captured by nHSYK models with $q > 2$.

  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.

  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.
