On the Emergence of Chaotic Behaviour in Quantum Systems

Hasan Al-Husieni

Quantum chaos remains a challenging concept because classical signatures of chaos do not directly transfer to quantum systems. This thesis investigates which indicators of chaos are shared between classical and quantum mechanics and how they can be used to characterise non-integrable many-body systems. We examine ergodicity and thermalisation by means of the Eigenstate Thermalisation Hypothesis (ETH) as signatures of non-integrability, and study the Out-of-Time-Ordered Correlator (OTOC) as a probe of information scrambling and as a measure of sensitivity to initial conditions. We briefly discuss the appearance of chaotic wavefunctions and observations such as quantum scars and quantum ergodicity in individual eigenmodes of the Bunimovich stadium potential. Using the OTOC, we discuss extensions of the Lyapunov exponent to quantum systems and apply these ideas to the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model. In the large-N limit, and using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we find that the model might potentially be the dual of a black hole and that it is maximally chaotic. We conclude by discussing additional proposed signatures of quantum chaos and prospects for experimental realisations of the SYK model.

Entanglement as a signature of quantum chaos

Xiaoguang Wang, Shohini Ghose, Barry C. Sanders +1 more

We explore the dynamics of entanglement in classically chaotic systems by considering a multiqubit system that behaves collectively as a spin system obeying the dynamics of the quantum kicked top. In the classical limit, the kicked top exhibits both regular and chaotic dynamics depending on the strength of the chaoticity parameter kappa in the Hamiltonian. We show that the entanglement of the multiqubit system, considered for both the bipartite and the pairwise entanglement, yields a signature of quantum chaos. Whereas bipartite entanglement is enhanced in the chaotic region, pairwise entanglement is suppressed. Furthermore, we define a time-averaged entangling power and show that this entangling power changes markedly as kappa moves the system from being predominantly regular to being predominantly chaotic, thus sharply identifying the edge of chaos. When this entangling power is averaged over all states, it yields a signature of global chaos. The qualitative behavior of this global entangling power is similar to that of the classical Lyapunov exponent.

Chaotic roots of the modular multiplication dynamical system in Shor's algorithm

Abu Musa Patoary, Amit Vikram, Laura Shou +1 more

Shor's factoring algorithm, believed to provide an exponential speedup over classical computation, relies on finding the period of an exactly periodic quantum modular multiplication operator. This exact periodicity is the hallmark of an integrable system, which is paradoxical from the viewpoint of quantum chaos, given that the classical limit of the modular multiplication operator is a highly chaotic system that occupies the “maximally random” Bernoulli level of the classical ergodic hierarchy. In this work, we approach this apparent paradox from a quantum dynamical systems viewpoint, and consider whether signatures of ergodicity and chaos may indeed be encoded in such an “integrable” quantization of a chaotic system. We show that Shor's modular multiplication operator, in specific cases, can be written as a superposition of quantized A -baker's maps exhibiting more typical signatures of quantum chaos and ergodicity. This work suggests that the integrability of Shor's modular multiplication operator may stem from the interference of other “chaotic” quantizations of the same family of maps, and paves the way for deeper studies on the interplay of integrability, ergodicity, and chaos in and via quantum algorithms.
