Abstract

Understanding how to characterize quantum chaotic dynamics is a long-standing question. I will discuss recent developments that identify Free Probability - a generalization of probability theory to non-commuting objects - as the unifying mathematical framework to describe correlations of chaotic many-body systems. This approach uncovers unexpected, simple connections between quantum information theory and chaos.
