While the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) is well established for quantum-chaotic interacting systems, its validity for other classes of systems remains a matter of intense debate. Focusing on quadratic fermionic Hamiltonians, we here argue that the weak ETH is satisfied for few-body observables in many-body eigenstates of quantum-chaotic quadratic (QCQ) Hamiltonians. In contrast, the weak ETH is violated for few-body observables in localized quadratic Hamiltonians. We argue that these properties can be traced back to the validity of single-particle eigenstate thermalization, and we highlight the subtle role of normalization of operators. Our results suggest that the difference between weak and no ETH in many-body eigenstates allows for a distinction between single-particle quantum chaos and localization. We test to which degree this phenomenology holds true for integrable systems such as the XYZ and XXZ models.

Keywords: single particle chaos; equilibration; eigenstate thermalization hypothesis
