• Abstract: We identify new universal properties of the energy eigenstates of chaotic systems with local interactions, which distinguish them both from integrable systems and from non-local chaotic systems. We study the relation between the energy eigenstates of the full system and products of energy eigenstates of two extensive subsystems, using a family of spin chains in (1+1) dimensions as an illustration. The magnitudes of the coefficients relating the two bases have a simple universal form as a function of $\omega$, the energy difference between the full system eigenstate and the product of eigenstates. This form explains the exponential decay with time of the probability for a product of eigenstates to return to itself during thermalization. We also find certain new statistical properties of the coefficients. While it is generally expected that the coefficients are uncorrelated random variables, we point out that correlations implied by unitarity are important for understanding the transition probability between two products of eigenstates, and the evolution of operator expectation values during thermalization. Moreover, we find that there are additional correlations resulting from locality, which lead to a slower growth of the second Renyi entropy than the one predicted by an uncorrelated random variable approximation.

  We develop a field-theoretical framework that provides a unified approach to observables characterizing entanglement and charge fluctuations. Within this framework, we derive a replicated Keldysh non-linear sigma model (NLSM) By using the renormalization-group approach for the NLSM, we determine the phase diagram and the scaling of physical observables.

  We consider correlations between eigenstates specific to spatially extended systems and that characterise entanglement dynamics and operator spreading. 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.

• Ensemble dependence of information-theoretic contributions to the entropy production [0.0]
  entropy production of an open system coupled to a reservoir in a canonical state can be expressed as a sum of two microscopic information-theoretic contributions. We show that while in such a case the entropy production can still be expressed as a sum of the mutual information between the system and the bath, the relative weight of those contributions depends on the initial state of the reservoir.

  We focus on the many-body eigenstates across a localization-delocalization phase transition. In the ergodic phase, the average of eigenstate overlaps $barmathcalO$ is exponential decay with the increase of the system size. For localized systems, $barmathcalO$ is almost size-independent showing the strong robustness of the eigenstates.

• Quantum correlation entropy [0.0]
  We study quantum coarse-grained entropy and demonstrate that the gap in entropy between local and global coarse-grainings is a natural generalization of entanglement entropy to mixed states and multipartite systems. This "quantum correlation entropy" $Srm QC$ is additive over independent systems, measures total nonclassical correlations, and reduces to the entanglement entropy for bipartite pure states.

• Growth of mutual information in a quenched one-dimensional open quantum many body system [11.731315568079445]
  In a dissipative system, postquench information propagates solely through entangled pairs of quasiparticles having a finite lifetime. Remarkably, in spite of the finite lifetime of the quasiparticles, a finite steady-state value of the MI survives in times which is an artifact of nonvanishing two-point correlations.
