abstract

We investigate spectral statistics in spatially extended, chaotic many-body quantum systems with a conserved charge. We compute the spectral form factor $K(t)$ analytically for a minimal Floquet circuit model that has a $U(1)$ symmetry encoded via auxiliary spin-$1/2$ degrees of freedom. Averaging over an ensemble of realizations, we relate $K(t)$ to a partition function for the spins, given by a Trotterization of the spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg ferromagnet. Using Bethe Ansatz techniques, we extract the 'Thouless time' $t^{\vphantom{*}}_{\rm Th}$ demarcating the extent of random matrix behavior, and find scaling behavior governed by diffusion for $K(t)$ at $t\lesssim t^{\vphantom{*}}_{\rm Th}$. We also report numerical results for $K(t)$ in a generic Floquet spin model, which are consistent with these analytic predictions.

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Quantum group symmetry enables superdiffusive hydrodynamic tails for transverse spin operators in chaotic XXZ-like models despite lacking local quantum group charges.

  2. Crystalline Spectral Form Factors

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    Strong level repulsion produces damped crystalline oscillations of the spectral form factor, with a Debye-Waller suppression, a new plateau time scale t* ≈ t_H sqrt(β/4), and predictable derivative singularities.
