Emergent Wigner-Dyson statistics and self-attention-inspired prediction in driven Bose-Hubbard chains

Aps.org·September 17, 2026

We propose an algorithm based on modulable hidden variables and adaptive step lengths, inspired by statistical physics and renormalization group principles, to study the emergent Wigner-Dyson level statistics in a driven many-body system. We apply this method to the boundary-driven Bose-Hubbard chain to illustrate the competition between coherent driving, hopping, and on-site interactions. Unlike random matrix models where chaos is induced through quenched disorder, here ergodicity emerges intrinsically from many-body configuration hybridization induced by the interplay between the driving field $F$ and the nonlinearity $U$. The resulting system follows statistics approaching the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) limit. Using a self-attention-inspired Gaussian relevance map, the algorithm organizes the discrete site-occupation features and iteratively redistributes a coarse-grained spectral measure. This reduces the computational overhead relative to calculating the full eigenspectrum
