Chaos and information dynamics in quantum many body systems

The understanding of the generic dynamics of quantum may-body systems is a crucial task for many applications of quantum physics, including quantum communication and computation. A quantum computer is indeed ultimately a many- body system subject to external driving addressing a specific task. In particular, it is well known that quantum information stored in a many-body system is subject to degradation either resulting from external dephasing or from internal interaction leading to its scrambling among many-degrees of freedom. It was recently understood that this process is intimately related to quantum chaotic dynamics driven by many-body interactions, leading to an intense research activity devoted to the characterisation and exploitation of chaos in many-body systems. In this workshop we plan to focus on a comprehensive account of this recent research activity in this subfield of non-equilibrium physics, focusing on a broad class of topics including for example scrambling, out-of-time order correlations, thermalisation dynamics.
