• Abstract: We propose a formalism which defines chaos in both quantum and classical systems in an equivalent manner by means of \textit{adiabatic transformations}. The complexity of adiabatic transformations which preserve classical time-averaged trajectories (quantum eigenstates) in response to Hamiltonian deformations serves as a measure of chaos. This complexity is quantified by the (properly regularized) fidelity susceptibility. Physically this measure quantifies long time instabilities of physical observables due to small changes in the Hamiltonian of the system. Our exposition clearly showcases the common structures underlying quantum and classical chaos and allows us to distinguish integrable, chaotic but non-thermalizing, and ergodic/mixing regimes. We apply the fidelity susceptibility to a model of two coupled spins and demonstrate that it successfully predicts the universal onset of chaos, both for finite spin $S$ and in the classical limit $S\to\infty$. Interestingly, we find that finite $S$ effects are anomalously large close to integrability.

• Adiabatic Gauge Potential as a Tool for Detecting Chaos in Classical Systems [0.0]
  We study the adiabatic gauge potential (AGP), an object that describes deformations of a quantum state under adiabatic variation of the Hamiltonian. We show how the time variance of the AGP over a trajectory probes the long-time correlations of a generic observable. We demonstrate that strongly and weakly chaotic regimes correspond to normal and anomalous diffusion, respectively.

  We investigate the semiclassical limit of a bosonic quantum many-body system exhibiting both integrable and chaotic behavior. The transition from regularity to chaos in classical dynamics is visualized through Poincar'e sections. The study systematically establishes quantum-classical correspondence for a bosonic many-body system with more than two wells.

  Mixed eigenstates are identified by means of the phase space overlap index. We show that the mixed eigenstates appear due to various tunneling precesses between different phase space structures. In particular, we find that the relative fraction of mixed states exhibits a power-law decay as the system size increases.

• Probing quantum chaos with the entropy of decoherent histories [0.0]
  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.
