Abstract

Here we investigate possible quantum analog of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theorem in two types of hybrid SYK models which contain both $ q=4 $ SYK with interaction $ J $ and $ q=2 $ SYK with an interaction $ K $ in Type I or $ (q=2)^2 $ SYK with an interaction $ \sqrt{K} $ in Type II . These models include hybrid Majorana fermion, complex fermion and bosonic SYK. We first introduce a new universal ratio which is the ratio of the next nearest neighbour (NNN) energy level spacing to characterize the random matrix behaviours. We make exact symmetry analysis on the possible symmetry class of both types of hybrid SYK in the 10 fold way and also work out the degeneracy of each energy levels. We perform exact diagonalization to evaluate both the known NN ratio and the new NNN ratio. In Type I, as $ K/J $ changes, there is always a chaotic to non-chaotic transition (CNCT) from the GUE to Poisson in all the hybrid fermionic SYK models, but not the hybrid bosonic SYK model. In Type II, there are always CNCT from the corresponding GOE, GUE or GSE dictated by the symmetry of the $ q=4 $ SYK to the Poisson dictated by $ ( q=2 )^2 $ SYK. When the double degeneracy at the $ q=4 $ ( or $ (q=2)^2 $ ) side is broken by the $ q=2 $ ( or $ q=4 $ ) perturbation in Type I ( or Type II), the new NNN ratio can be most effectively to quantify the stability of quantum chaos ( or the KAM ). We compare the stability of quantum chaos and KAM theorem near the integrability in all these hybrid SYK models. We also discuss some possible connections between CNCT characterized by the random matrix theory and the quantum phase transitions (QPT) characterized by renormalization groups. Quantum chaos in both types of hybrid SYK models are also contrasted with that in the $ U(1)/Z_2 $ Dicke model in quantum optics.

We introduce a new universal ratio which is the ratio of the next nearest neighbour (NNN) energy level spacing to characterize the KAM theorem. We make exact symmetry analysis on the possible symmetry class of both types of hybrid SYK in the 10-fold way by random matrix theory (RMT) and also work out the degeneracy of each energy level. We perform exact diagonalization to evaluate both the known NN ratio and the new NNN ratio, then use both ratios to study Chaotic to Integrable transitions (CIT) in both types of hybrid SYK models. After defining the quantum analog of the KAM theorem in the context of RMT, we show that the KAM theorem holds when $ J/K \sim \sqrt{N} e^{-N} $ and shrinks exponentially fast in the thermodynamic limit. In the GOE or GSE case in type-I, we find a lower bound of the dual form of the KAM theorem which states the stability of quantum chaos. While the stability of quantum chaos in all the other cases are much more robust than the KAM theorem in the integrable side. We explore some intrinsic connections between the two complementary approaches to quantum chaos: the RMT and the Lyapunov exponent by the $ 1/N $ expansion in the large $ N $ limit at a suitable temperature range. We stress the crucial difference between the quantum phase transition (QPT) characterized by renormalization groups at $ N=\infty $, $ 1/N $ expansions at a finite $ N $, and the CIT characterized by the RMT at a finite $ N $.

Universal ratio in random matrix theory and chaotic-to-integrable transition in type-I and type-II hybrid Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models

Fadi Sun, Yu Yi-Xiang, Jinwu Ye +1 more

We investigate chaotic to integrable transition in two types of hybrid SYK models, which contain both $q=4$ SYK with interaction $J$ and $q=2$ SYK with an interaction $K$ in type-I or ${(q=2)}^{2}$ SYK with an interaction $\sqrt{K}$ in type-II. These models include hybrid Majorana fermion, complex fermion, and bosonic SYK. For the Majorana fermion case, we discuss both $N$ even and $N$ odd case. We make exact symmetry analysis on the possible symmetry class of both types of hybrid SYK in the 10-fold way by random matrix theory (RMT) and also work out the degeneracy of each energy levels. We introduce a new universal ratio, which is the ratio of the next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) energy level spacing to characterize the RMT. We perform exact diagonalization to evaluate both the known NN ratio and the new NNN ratio, then use both ratios to study chaotic to integrable transitions (CIT) in both types of hybrid SYK models.

We explore some intrinsic connections between the two complementary approaches to quantum chaos: the RMT and the Lyapunov exponent by the $1/N$ expansion in the large $N$ limit at a suitable temperature range. We stress the crucial differences between the quantum phase transition (QPT) characterized by renormalization groups at $N=\ensuremath{\infty}$, $1/N$ expansions at a finite $N$, and the CIT characterized by the RMT at a finite $N$: the former focus on the ground state and its low-energy excitations (edge states in the Fock space), the latter on excited states (bulk states in the Fock space). We also discuss eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH)'s power on a quantum chaotic bulk state and its inability to encode the edge states. Comments on some previously related works are given. Some future perspectives, especially the failure of the Zamoloddchikov's c-theorem in 1d CFT RG flow are outlined.

Quantum analog of the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theorem in the anisotropic Dicke model and its possible implications in the hybrid Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models

Yu Yi-Xiang, Jinwu Ye, Wu-Ming Liu +1 more

The classical Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theorem provides the underlying mechanism for the stability of the solar system under some small chaotic perturbations. Despite many previous efforts, any quantum version of the KAM theorem remains elusive. In this work, we provide a quantum KAM theorem in the context of the anisotropic Dicke model, which is the most important quantum optics model. It describes a single mode of photons coupled to $N$ qubits with both a rotating wave (RW) term and a counter-RW (CRW) term. As the ratio of the CRW over the RW term increases from zero to one, the systems evolves from quantum integrable to quantum chaotic. We establish a quantum KAM theorem to characterize such an evolution quantitatively by both large-$N$ expansion and random matrix theory and find agreement from the two complementary approaches. Connections and differences between the Dicke models and Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) or hybrid SYK models are examined. A possible quantum KAM theorem in terms of other quantum chaos criteria such as the quantum Lyapunov exponent is also discussed.

Classification of the quantum chaos in colored Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models

Fadi Sun, Yu Yi-Xiang, Jinwu Ye +1 more

The random matrix theory (RMT) can be used to classify both topological phases of matter and quantum chaos. We develop a systematic and transformative RMT to classify the quantum chaos in the colored Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model first introduced by Gross and Rosenhaus. Here we focus on the two-colored case and the four-colored case with a balanced number of Majorana fermions $N$. By identifying the maximal symmetries, the independent parity conservation sectors, the minimum (irreducible) Hilbert space, and especially the relevant antiunitary and unitary operators, we show that the color degrees of freedom lead to novel quantum chaotic behaviors. When $N$ is odd, different symmetry operators need to be constructed to make the classifications complete. The two-colored case only shows the threefold Wigner-Dyson way, and the four-colored case shows the tenfold generalized Wigner-Dyson way which may also have nontrivial edge exponents. We also study two- and four-colored hybrid SYK models, which display many salient quantum chaotic features hidden in the corresponding pure SYK models. These features motivate us to develop a systematic RMT to study the energy level statistics of two or four uncorrelated random matrix ensembles. The exact diagonalizations are performed to study both the bulk energy level statistics and the edge exponents and to find excellent agreement with our exact maximal symmetry classifications. Our complete and systematic methods can be easily extended to study the generic imbalanced cases. They may be transferred to the classifications of colored tensor models, quantum chromodynamics with pairings across different colors, quantum black holes, and interacting symmetry protected (or enriched) topological phases.

Here we investigate possible quantum analog of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theorem in two types of hybrid SYK models which contain both q=4q=4q=4 SYK with interaction JJJ and q=2q=2q=2 SYK with an interaction KKK in Type I or (q=2)2(q=2)^2(q=2)2 SYK with an interaction K\sqrt{K}K​ in Type II .
