We study dynamical signatures of quantum chaos in one of the most relevant models in many-body quantum mechanics, the Bose-Hubbard model, whose high degree of symmetries yields a large number of invariant subspaces and degenerate energy levels. The standard procedure to reveal signatures of quantum chaos requires classifying the energy levels according to their symmetries, which may be experimentally and theoretically challenging. We show that this classification is not necessary to observe manifestations of spectral correlations in the temporal evolution of the survival probability, which makes this quantity a powerful tool in the identification of chaotic many-body quantum systems.
