| Popis: | Correlations between the eigenenergies of a system's spectrum can be a defining feature of quantum chaos. We characterize correlations between energies for all spectral distances by studying the distributions of $k$-th neighbor level spacings ($k$nLS) and compute their associated $k$-th neighbor spectral form factor ($k$nSFF). Specifically, we find analytical expressions for these signatures in paradigmatic models of quantum chaos, namely the three Gaussian ensembles of random matrix theory, and in integrable models, taken as systems with completely uncorrelated spectra (the Poissonian ensemble). The spectral distance decomposition of the SFF allows us to probe the contribution of each individual $k$nLS to the ramp. The latter is a characteristic feature of quantum chaos, and we show how each spectral distance participates in building it -- the linear ramp cannot be formed by short-range energy correlations only. We illustrate our findings in the XXZ spin chain with disorder, which interpolates between chaotic and integrable behavior. Comment: 19+6 pages, 13+10 figures. v2: new section II + new figures |
