ITAMP Publication on many-body quantum chaos made it to the cover!

The cover art for an ITAMP publication in an online-only journal Nature Communications Physics has
been chosen as the front cover for the journal: https://www.nature.com/commsphys/

The description of the art cover for Ceren B. Dağ, Simeon I. Mistakidis, Amos Chan & H. R. Sadeghpour,
Communications Physics volume 6, Article number: 136 (2023):

A binary mixture of atoms trapped and driven in an optical lattice giving rise to many-body quantum
chaos, depicted in Picasso style and rendered by Deep Dream Generator. The spectral form factor of this
experimentally feasible model is found to deviate from random matrix theory prediction before the
many-body Thouless time, revealing a universal scaling function in cold atom models beyond random
matrix theory.

Nicole Yunger-Halpern and experimentalists demonstrate thermalization in a non-commuting spin array

In a joint collaboration, the recent ITAMP fellow Nicole Yunger-Halprin, and the Innsbruck trapped ion group, have demonstrated that an array of quantum spins (ions) thermalize even in the presence of non-commuting spin components.
