Abstract: We study non-local measures of spectral correlations and their utility in characterizing and distinguishing between the distinct eigenstate phases of quantum chaotic and many-body localized systems. We focus on two related quantities - the spectral form factor and the density of all spectral gaps and show that they furnish unique signatures that can be used to sharply identify the two phases. We demonstrate this by numerically studying three one-dimensional quantum spin chain models with (i) quenched disorder, (ii) periodic drive (Floquet) and (iii) quasi-periodic detuning. We also clarify in what ways the signatures are universal and in what ways they are not. More generally, this thorough analysis is expected to play a helpful role in classifying phases of disorder systems.
