Summary
The recent technological and experimental advances in the field of quantum simulation have led to the renaissance of the study of the dynamics of complex quantum systems. Different interdisciplinary approaches, ranging from condensed matter, high energy physics and quantum information, have emphasised the existence of constraints given by quantum mechanics on the time evolution of correlations and the transport properties. The purpose of this proposal is to tackle several issues at the intersection of these fields from the perspective of standard quantum statistical mechanics.
The scientific objectives
Generalized bounds on the Lyapunov exponents
So far, most of the attention of studies on quantum chaos has focused on the maximal Lyapunov exponent. Classically, however, that are several quantifiers to study chaotic dynamics. For instance, the generalised Lyapunov exponent (GLE) accounts for chaotic fluctuations of the dynamical system. Its non-trivial behaviour is associated with multifractality. This research objective is to derive bounds for the quantum GLE and to use them to study quantum multifractality.
