Explore the dynamical manifestations of many-body quantum chaos and understand the timescales involved in thermalization processes in this 52-minute conference talk. Delve into the complex behavior of quantum many-body systems as they evolve toward thermal equilibrium, examining how chaotic dynamics emerge in these systems and the characteristic time scales that govern thermalization. Learn about the theoretical frameworks and computational approaches used to study quantum chaos in many-body systems, including the role of energy level statistics, eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, and the transition from integrable to chaotic behavior. Discover how quantum information scrambling and entanglement growth relate to thermalization processes, and examine specific examples of many-body systems that exhibit chaotic dynamics. Gain insights into the current research frontiers in understanding when and how isolated quantum systems reach thermal equilibrium, including the identification of key dynamical signatures that distinguish chaotic from integrable quantum systems.
