• Abstract: When describing entanglement in typical midspectrum eigenstates of many-body lattice Hamiltonians, two paradigms have emerged that capture the behavior observed in integrable and nonintegrable systems, Haar-random fermionic Gaussian states and Haar-random pure states, respectively. Remarkably, the former capture the behavior of interacting integrable systems, whose eigenstates are non-Gaussian. We argue that the paradigm that captures both the entanglement properties and the lack of Gaussianity in integrable systems is that of random superpositions of polynomially many Gaussian states. In contrast, eigenstates of nonintegrable systems are consistent with being described by random superpositions of exponentially many Gaussian states. We gain this understanding by comparing analytical and numerical results for the one-body purity, the non-Gaussianity, and the entanglement entropy of the random superpositions and the Hamiltonian eigenstates.

• 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.

  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.

  We observe a non-Gaussian initial state evolving under non-interacting dynamics in a quantum many-body system. This non-equilibrium evolution is triggered by abruptly switching off the effective interaction between the observed collective degrees of freedom. A description of this dynamics requires a novel mechanism for the emergence of Gaussian correlations.
