Characterizing the work statistics of driven complex quantum systems is generally challenging because of the exponential growth with the system size of the number of transitions involved between different energy levels. We consider the quantum work distribution associated with the driving of chaotic quantum systems described by random matrix Hamiltonians and characterize exactly the work statistics associated with a sudden quench for arbitrary temperature and system size. Knowledge of the work statistics yields the Loschmidt echo dynamics of an entangled state between two copies of the system of interest, the thermofield double state. This echo dynamics is dictated by the spectral form factor. We discuss its relation to frame potentials and its use to assess information scrambling.

Abstract The quantum chaos is related to a Gaussian random matrix model, which shows a dip-ramp-plateau behavior in the spectral form factor for the large size N. The spectral form factor of time dependent Gaussian random matrix model shows also dip-ramp-plateau behavior with a rounding behavior instead of a kink near Heisenberg time. This model is converted to two matrix model, made of M1 and M2. The numerical evaluation for finite N and analytic expression in the large N are compared for the spectral form factor.

We study the integrability from the spectral form factor in the Chern–Simons formulation. The effective action in the higher spin sector was not derived so far. Therefore, we begin from the SL(3) Chern–Simons higher spin theory. Then the dimensional reduction in this Chern–Simons theory gives the SL(3) reparametrization invariant Schwarzian theory, which is the boundary theory of an interacting theory between the spin-2 and spin-3 fields at the infrared or massless limit. We show that the Lorentzian SL(3) Schwarzian theory is dual to the integrable model, SL(3) open Toda chain theory. Finally, we demonstrate the application of open Toda chain theory from the SL(2) case. The numerical result shows that the spectral form factor loses the dip-ramp-plateau behavior, consistent with integrability. The spectrum is not a Gaussian random matrix spectrum. We also give an exact solution of the spectral form factor for the SL(3) theory. This solution provides a similar form to the SL(2) case for [Formula: see text]. Hence the SL(3) theory should also do not have a Gaussian random matrix spectrum.

Often a pair of quantum systems may be represented mathematically (by a vector) in a way each system alone cannot: the mathematical representation of the pair is said to be non-separable: Schrödinger called this feature of quantum theory entanglement. It would reflect a physical relation between a pair of systems only if a system’s mathematical representation were to describe its physical condition. Einstein and colleagues used an entangled state to argue that its quantum state does not completely describe the physical condition of a system to which it is assigned. A single physical system may be assigned a non-separable quantum state, as may a large number of systems, including electrons, photons, and ions. The GHZ state is an example of an entangled polarization state that may be assigned to three photons.
