Explorations of Dissipative Quantum Chaos from Non-Hermitian Random Matrix Theory

Explore the fascinating world of dissipative quantum chaos through a comprehensive lecture on non-Hermitian random matrix theory. Delve into the emergence of equilibrium statistical mechanics from quantum chaos in closed quantum systems and discover how these principles translate to open quantum systems. Examine the significant modifications to volume-law entanglement entropy and the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis in the presence of non-Hermiticity. Learn about the latest research findings based on PRL 130, 010401 and arXiv:2303.03448 in this 1-hour 10-minute talk presented by Jonah Kudler-Flam at the PCS Institute for Basic Science.
