There are recent extensive research activities on Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models and their possible quantum gravity duals in AdS space. In this colloquium, I will first introduce the two basic approaches to study quantum chaos and quantum information scramblings in SYK models and quantum black holes: Out of time ordered correlation (OTOC) functions to extract the quantum Lyapunov exponent and the Random Matrix Theory (RMT). Then using the two approaches, we review some of the recent progress in SYK models and their global impacts in various branches of physics such as quantum gravity, conformal field theory, condensed matter physics and quantum information science. Finally, we outline my group's recent works on (1) discover the periodic table of SYK and supersymmetric SYK models by RMT and hints its possible impacts on the bulk quantum gravity. (2) Establish some intrinsic connections between the two complementary approaches. Possible experimental realizations of SYK models are also briefly discussed.
