Quantum kicked rotor and its variants: Chaos, localization and beyond

MS Santhanam, S Paul, JB Kannan - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
Kicked rotor is a paradigmatic model for classical and quantum chaos in time-dependent
Hamiltonian systems. More than fifty years since the introduction of this model, there is an …

Exponential growth of out-of-time-order correlator without chaos: inverted harmonic oscillator

K Hashimoto, KB Huh, KY Kim, R Watanabe - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We provide a detailed examination of a thermal out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC)
growing exponentially in time in systems without chaos. The system is a one-dimensional …

From dual-unitary to quantum Bernoulli circuits: Role of the entangling power in constructing a quantum ergodic hierarchy

S Aravinda, SA Rather, A Lakshminarayan - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
Deterministic classical dynamical systems have an ergodic hierarchy, from ergodic through
mixing, to Bernoulli systems that are “as random as a coin toss.” Dual-unitary circuits have …

Bridging entanglement dynamics and chaos in semiclassical systems

A Lerose, S Pappalardi - Physical Review A, 2020 - APS
It is widely recognized that entanglement generation and dynamical chaos are intimately
related in semiclassical models via the process of decoherence. In this paper, we propose a …

Information scrambling over bipartitions: Equilibration, entropy production, and typicality

G Styliaris, N Anand, P Zanardi - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
In recent years, the out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) has emerged as a diagnostic tool for
information scrambling in quantum many-body systems. Here, we present exact analytical …

Quantum chaos and the correspondence principle

J Wang, G Benenti, G Casati, W Wang - Physical Review E, 2021 - APS
The correspondence principle is a cornerstone in the entire construction of quantum
mechanics. This principle has been recently challenged by the observation of an early-time …

Saddle-point scrambling without thermalization

RA Kidd, A Safavi-Naini, JF Corney - Physical Review A, 2021 - APS
Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) have proven to be a useful tool for studying
thermalization in quantum systems. In particular, the exponential growth of OTOCS, or …

Classical route to ergodicity and scarring in collective quantum systems

S Sinha, S Ray, S Sinha - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Ergodicity, a fundamental concept in statistical mechanics, is not yet a fully understood
phenomena for closed quantum systems, particularly its connection with the underlying …

Out-of-time-ordered correlators and the Loschmidt echo in the quantum kicked top: how low can we go?

PG Sreeram, V Madhok… - Journal of Physics D …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
The out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) and the Loschmidt echo are two measures that
are now widely being explored to characterize sensitivity to perturbations and information …

Out-of-time-order correlators of nonlocal block-spin and random observables in integrable and nonintegrable spin chains

RK Shukla, A Lakshminarayan, SK Mishra - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC) in the Ising Floquet system, which can be both
integrable and nonintegrable, are studied. Instead of localized spin observables, we study …
