Eigenstate Correlations, Thermalization and the Butterfly Effect (1810.11014v2)

Published 25 Oct 2018 in cond-mat.stat-mech, cond-mat.str-el, hep-th, and quant-ph

Abstract: We discuss eigenstate correlations for ergodic, spatially extended many-body quantum systems, in terms of the statistical properties of matrix elements of local observables. While the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) is known to give an excellent description of these quantities, the butterfly effect implies structure beyond ETH. We determine the universal form of this structure at long distances and small eigenvalue separations for Floquet systems. We use numerical studies of a Floquet quantum circuit to illustrate both the accuracy of ETH and the existence of our predicted additional correlations.
