• Abstract: Spectral rigidity in Hermitian quantum chaotic systems signals the presence of dynamical universal features at timescales that can be much shorter than the Heisenberg time. We study the analog of this timescale in many-body non-Hermitian quantum chaos by a detailed analysis of long-range spectral correlators. For that purpose, we investigate the number variance and the spectral form factor of a non-Hermitian $q$-body Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (nHSYK) model, which describes $N$ fermions in zero spatial dimensions. After an analytical and numerical analysis of these spectral observables for non-Hermitian random matrices, and a careful unfolding, we find good agreement with the nHSYK model for $q > 2$ starting at a timescale that decreases sharply with $q$. The source of deviation from universality, identified analytically, is ensemble fluctuations not related to the quantum dynamics. For fixed $q$ and large enough $N$, these fluctuations become dominant up until after the Heisenberg time, so that the spectral form factor is no longer useful for the study of quantum chaos. In all cases, our results point to a weakened or vanishing spectral rigidity that effectively delays the observation of full quantum ergodicity. We also show that the number variance displays nonstationary spectral correlations for both the nHSYK model and random matrices. This nonstationarity, also not related to the quantum dynamics, points to intrinsic limitations of these observables to describe the quantum chaotic motion. On the other hand, we introduce the local spectral form factor, which is shown to be stationary and not affected by collective fluctuations, and propose it as an effective diagnostic of non-Hermitian quantum chaos. For $q = 2$, we find saturation to Poisson statistics at a timescale of $\log D$, compared to a scale of $\sqrt D$ for $ q>2$, with $D $ the total number of states.

  We investigate the dynamics of the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, composed of $N$ all-to-all interacting spins $1/2$, under a weak external monitoring. We derive a set of semiclassical equations describing the evolution of the expectation values of global spin observables, which become exact in the thermodynamic limit. The transition is not affected by post-selection issues, as it is already visible at the level of ensemble averages.

  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.

  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.
