• Abstract: We investigate signatures of quantum chaos and complexity in the quantum annealing Ising model on random Erd\H{o}s-R\'enyi graphs. By tuning the connectivity of the graph, the dynamics can be driven from a localized phase through a chaotic regime to an integrable limit. While this dynamical transition reflects in the spectral characteristics, we pursue a broader suite of quantum chaos indicators,some of which can be measured on near-term quantum devices. We study deep thermalization of a quantum state ensemble obtained from a natural unraveling of the subsystem density matrix as an indicator of chaotic dynamics. This extends the analysis of quantum chaos to the ensemble of quantum states. Furthermore, we analyze the eigenstate and eigenvalue correlations through the partial spectral form factor of subsystems and observe distinct signatures of the onset of chaos and its system size dependence, providing experimentally measurable indicators of the localization-to-chaos transition. As a locality-independent probe, we show that the Krylov complexity of operators is also maximized in the chaotic regime, providing a link between graph topology and information scrambling. Finally, we investigate a quantum analogue of the Mpemba effect, where initially "hotter" states can thermalize anomalously fast, a phenomenon most cleanly observed within the chaotic phase. However, away from the chaotic regime, the system is distinguished by multiple crossings across connectivity in its distance from the thermal ensemble with time. Collectively, this work presents a broad characterization of chaos, providing insight beyond spectral analysis and practical indicators for benchmarking near-term quantum devices.

  We first demonstrate the diffusive dynamics assisted by controlled dephasing noise in superconducting quantum circuits. We show that dephasing can enhance localization in a superconducting qubit array with quasiperiodic order. By preparing different excitation distributions in the qubit array, we observe that a more localized initial state relaxes to a uniformly distributed mixed state faster with dephasing noise.

  We explore spread and spectral complexity in quantum systems that exhibit a transition from integrability to chaos. We find that the saturation value of spread complexity post-peak depends not only on the spectral statistics of the Hamiltonian, but also on the specific state. We conjecture that the thermofield double state (TFD) is suitable for probing signatures of chaos in quantum many-body systems.

• Steady-state quantum chaos in open quantum systems [0.0]
  We introduce the notion of steady-state quantum chaos as a general phenomenon in open quantum many-body systems. Chaos and integrability in the steady state of an open quantum system are instead uniquely determined by the spectral structure of the time evolution generator. We study steady-state chaos in the driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard model, a paradigmatic example of out-of-equilibrium bosonic system without particle number conservation.
