Statistical properties of the spectrum of the extended Bose–Hubbard model

Motivated by the role that spectral properties play for the dynamical evolution of a quantum many-body system, we investigate the level spacing statistics of the extended Bose–Hubbard model. In particular, we focus on the distribution of the ratio of adjacent level spacings, useful at large interactions, to distinguish between chaotic and non-chaotic regimes. After revisiting the bare Bose–Hubbard model, we study the effect of two different perturbations: next-nearest-neighbor hopping and nearest-neighbor interaction. The system size dependence is investigated together with the effect of the proximity to integrable points or lines. Lastly, we discuss the consequences of a cutoff in the number of onsite bosons on the level statistics.
