We study nonequilibrium properties of small and chaotic quantum systems, i.e., non-integrable systems whose size is small in the sense that the separations of energy levels are non-negligible as compared with other relevant energy scales. The energy change $\Delta E$ induced by a slowly-varying external field $\lambda(t)$ is evaluated when the range of the variation $\Delta \lambda$ is large so that the linear response theory breaks down. A new statistical theory is presented, by which we can predict $<\Delta E>$, the average of $\Delta E$ over a finite energy resolution $\delta E$, as a function of $\lambda(t)$ if we are given the density of states smeared over $\delta E$, the average distance of the anticrossings, and a constant $K \lesssim 1$.
