• Abstract: The fundamental correspondence between quantum chaotic single-particle systems and random matrix theory is well-understood via periodic orbit theory. In contrast, we show that many-body systems with explicit subsystem structure possess characteristics different from the single-particle theory. We present a periodic orbit theory for many-body systems with well defined semiclassical limit. For this we identify periodic orbit families arising exclusively in the many-body setting and implement a central limit theorem characterizing their correlations. Based on this we demonstrate that spectral correlations in chaotic quantum circuits are characterized by the breaking of individual time translation invariance of periodic orbits in the subsystems into residual synchronous time translations only. This provides a systematic approach to confirming random matrix universality in deterministic many-body systems.

• Quantum Chaos on Edge [36.136619420474766]
  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.

• Canonical typicality under general quantum channels [39.58317527488534]
  In the present work we employ quantum channels to define generalized subsystems. We show that generalized subsystems also display the phenomena of canonical typicality. In particular we demonstrate that the property regulating the emergence of the canonical typicality behavior is the entropy of the channel used to define the generalized subsystem.

• Semiclassical roots of universality in many-body quantum chaos [0.0]
  In quantum systems with a classical limit, advanced semiclassical methods provide the crucial link between classically chaotic dynamics and corresponding universal features at the quantum level. This paper provides a unified framework for understanding random-matrix correlations of both single-particle and many-body quantum chaotic systems. Case studies presented include a many-body version of Gutzwiller's trace formula for the spectral density and out-of-time-order correlators along with brief remarks on where further progress may be forthcoming.

• Quantum Relativity of Subsystems [58.720142291102135]
  We show that different reference frame perspectives induce different sets of subsystem observable algebras, which leads to a gauge-invariant, frame-dependent notion of subsystems and entanglement. Such a QRF perspective does not inherit the distinction between subsystems in terms of the corresponding tensor factorizability of the kinematical Hilbert space and observable algebra. Since the condition for this to occur is contingent on the choice of QRF, the notion of subsystem locality is frame-dependent.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

  We study the time evolution operator in a family of local quantum circuits with random fields in a fixed direction. We show that for the systems under consideration the generalised spectral form factor can be expressed in terms of dynamical correlation functions. This also provides a connection between the many-body Thouless time $tau_rm th$ -- the time at which the generalised spectral form factor starts following the random matrix theory prediction -- and the conservation laws of the system.

• Correspondence principle for many-body scars in ultracold Rydberg atoms [0.0]
  Recently, interest in quantum scars has been revived in a many-body setting of Rydberg atom chains. We show that quasimodes arise from a "requantisation" of previously established periodic orbits when quantum fluctuations are restored to all orders. Our results shed light on the TDVP classical system simultaneously playing the role of both the mean-field approximation and the system's classical limit.
