The search for a quantum theory of gravity has led to the discovery of quantum many-body systems that are dual to gravitational models with quantum properties. The perhaps most famous of these systems is the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. It features maximal scrambling of quantum information, and opens a potential inroad to experimentally investigating aspects of quantum gravity. A scalable laboratory realisation of this model, however, remains outstanding. Here, we propose a feasible implementation of the SYK model in cavity quantum electrodynamics platforms. Through detailed analytical and numerical demonstrations, we show how driving a cloud of fermionic atoms trapped in a multi-mode optical cavity, and subjecting it to a spatially disordered AC-Stark shift retrieves the physics of the SYK model, with random all-to-all interactions and fast scrambling. Our work provides a blueprint for realising the SYK model in a scalable system, with the prospect of studying holographic quantum matter in the laboratory.

  1. Three Hamiltonians are Sufficient for Unitary $k$-Design in Temporal Ensemble

    quant-ph 2026-04 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    A three-step quench protocol with fixed Hamiltonians and random times forms unitary k-designs for arbitrary k; the two-step protocol cannot.

  2. Realizing Unitary $k$-designs with a Single Quench

    quant-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A single quench between two independent random Hamiltonians at the Thouless time generates unitary k-designs.

  3. Size Operator and Spectral Clustering in the Two Coupled SYK Model

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The finite-N spectrum of the two coupled SYK model organizes into operator-size clusters that underlie the conformal towers, revival dynamics, and wormhole-black hole transition.

  4. Controlling many-body quantum chaos in a dissipative optical cavity

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Cavity dephasing preserves integrable-vs-chaotic fingerprints in linear observables; spontaneous emission at realistic Lamb-Dicke parameters erases them, and both spoil entanglement.

  5. Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev physics from the Hubbard model: A Floquet engineering approach

    cond-mat.quant-gas 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Kinetic driving eliminates nearest-neighbor hopping in a Bose-Hubbard lattice and produces an effective four-boson Hamiltonian whose spectral statistics and OTOC dynamics match the bosonic Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model.

  6. Boosting quantum efficiency by reducing complexity

    quant-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Sparsifying the SYK quantum battery Hamiltonian improves its charging efficiency (extractable work per stored energy) as long as chaos survives, by up to roughly 10% at N=10.

  7. Quantum simulations of complex systems

    quant-ph 2025-05 unverdicted

    A review of quantum simulation, neuromorphic computation, the SYK model, and quantum batteries, with no new findings.
