Abstract

Characterizing intermediate quantum chaos in systems with mixed phase spaces requires probing spectral correlations across multiple scales. Here, we present a multi-scale statistical analysis of the resonance spectra of ultracold 166Er and 168Er atoms using higher-order spacing ratios, spacing increments, and the accumulated power spectral density of decimated level sequences. Our analysis reveals that while the spectra exhibit clear level repulsion, they are consistently better described by semi-Poisson than by standard Wigner-Dyson ensembles, with this intermediate character persisting across higher-order correlations. The accumulated power spectrum reveals an intermediate 1/f^alpha regime, with alpha approximately 1.5 at full spectral resolution and a tendency toward the integrable random-walk limit alpha = 2 at intermediate decimation scales, indicating a scale-dependent loss of spectral rigidity. Furthermore, the spacing-increment distributions independently reveal statistics intermediate between Laplace and Gaussian limits. Together, these complementary diagnostics show that the semi-Poisson character reflects persistent non-Wigner-Dyson correlations beyond the nearest-neighbor scale, providing a consistent picture of intermediate quantum chaos and a possible connection to hierarchical trapping in the underlying collision dynamics.

Universal Drude Weights in One-dimensional Repulsive Fermi Gas

Building on the Bethe ansatz and generalized hydrodynamics, we rigorously establish universal relations between Drude weights governing charge, spin, and energy transport and thermodynamic properties for the one-dimensional repulsive two-component continuum Fermi gas - the paradigmatic integrable Yang-Gaudin model. We analytically derive thermodynamic expressions for charge Drude weights: $D_{nn}$, $D_{nm}$, $D_{ne}$ (responses of particle, magnetization and energy currents to a chemical potential gradient) equal the particle density, magnetization, and temperature times entropy density, respectively. These relations constitute a hallmark of ballistic transport, and can be generalized to other 1D continuum integrable systems. Furthermore, we investigate spin Drude weight ($D_{mm}$, $D_{me}$) at zero and low temperatures. They characterize the magnetization and energy current responses to a magnetic field gradient, revealing an essential spin-charge coupling feature in quantum transport. We find that the Drude weights $D_{nm}$, $D_{mm}$, and $D_{me}$ across the $μ\text{-}H$ plane remarkably map out the zero-temperature phase boundary. This work fills a critical gap in the understanding of transport within integrable quantum gases and furnishes a direct theoretical foundation for future ultracold-atom experiments.

Nonlinearity management of matter-wave vector solitons of Bose-Einstein condensates in two dimensions

The evolution of matter-wave vector solitons in two dimensions under nonlinearity management is studied. The averaged over strong and rapid modulations in time of the inter-species interactions vector Gross-Pitaevskii equation is derived. The averaging gives the appearance of the effective nonlinear quantum pressure depending on the population of the other component. Using this system of equations, the dynamical stabilization of the two-dimensional vector matter-wave solitons under the management of the mean-field nonlinearity is investigated. It is shown that the nonlinear quantum pressure arrests the collapse in the averaged system, giving rise to stable vector solitons. Full numerical simulations of the original, time-dependent system of Gross-Pitaevskii equations confirm that the management strongly prolongs the lifetime of these solitons compared to the unmanaged case.

Constructing Large and Structured Decoherence-Free Subspaces in Hybrid Quantum Systems

We develop a framework to construct large decoherence-free subspaces with a non-trivial structure. The construction is based on hybrid quantum systems in which quantum matter is coupled to a dissipative bosonic mode. Dissipation imposes a global constraint on the matter by selecting the matter null states in the long-time limit. The decoherence-free subspaces spanned by matter null states can exhibit exotic quantum properties and emergent symmetries that do not characterize the full Liouvillian dynamics. We show how to construct many-body operators with physically interesting null states by employing representation theory of Lie algebras. This approach allows us to choose models based on their underlying algebraic structure. We consider explicitly the example of coupling a lossy optical cavity to the directed tunneling operator of quantum particles in one-dimension. In this case, the symmetries of the decoherence-free subspace originate in an $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{C})$ algebra, leading to an exponentially large number of steady states. We characterize the null states for both fermionic and bosonic particles, employing analytical and numerical methods. The states exhibit several properties that underline their complex quantum nature: long-range kinetic correlations and volume-law entanglement. The nonreciprocal nature of the directed tunneling dynamics leads to the emergence in the many-body regime of a symmetry-constrained Liouvillian skin effect. The open light-matter system exhibits a strong symmetry stemming from spinless $η$-pairing algebras. We show how the non-trivial properties of the long-times states emerge in the dissipative dynamics from generic initial states, by performing time-dependent matrix product state simulations. Our framework opens avenues for dissipatively engineering complex quantum correlations and harnessing nonreciprocity in a controlled manner.
