Abstract:
We propose a one-dimensional nonintegrable spin model with local interactions that covers Dyson's three symmetry classes (classes A, AI, and AII) depending on the values of parameters. We show that the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution in each of these classes agrees with that of random matrices having the same symmetry. By investigating the ratios between the standard deviations of diagonal and off-diagonal matrix elements, we numerically find that they are universal, depending only on symmetries of the Hamiltonian and an observable, as predicted by random matrix theory. These universal ratios are evaluated from long-time dynamics of small isolated quantum systems.
