Abstract: In the past years dual-unitary circuits have gained intense attention as minimal models for quantum many-body dynamics. Dual-unitary models are characterized by an underlying space-time duality, which allows for exact calculations of thermalization, scrambling and entanglement dynamics. Next to these exact results on their dynamics, space-time duality allows aspects of quantum chaos and connections to random matrix theory to be explicitly established. In this way dual-unitary circuits present a rare class of models that are both exactly solvable and provably chaotic, as well as being tailor-made for experimental realization in digital quantum computing setups. In this talk I will review dual-unitarity and highlight recent developments extending dual-unitarity.
