We present detailed results on two-dimensional Bose Hubbard models of finite sizes. Such systems are relevant for high-fidelity experiments with ultracold quantum gases loaded into periodic lattice structures. Our analysis is based on the spectral characterization of two-dimensional lattices with a variety of bonds and different boundary conditions, representing different lattice geometries. In the limit of maximally linked lattice clusters regular motion prevails, which is understood by the applicability of mean-field methods in these cases. On the other hand, in standard lattices with less bonds, such as realized in typical experiments, quantum chaotic behavior is found for a wide range of parameters. Our analysis includes measures of spectral complexity from Random-Matrix Theory (RMT), i.e. nearest neighbor (gap) statistics and long-range spectral correlations, but also a new measure recently introduced in the context of many-body localization in isolated quantum systems. Implications for the temporal evolution of two-dimensional interacting lattices gases are discussed as well.
