Quantum small-worlds are quantum many-body systems that interpolate between completely ordered (nearest-neighbour, next-to-nearest-neighbour etc.) and completely random interactions. As such, they furnish a novel new laboratory to study quantum systems transitioning between regular and chaotic behaviour. In this article, we introduce the idea of a quantum small-world network by starting from a well understood integrable system, a spin-1 Heisenberg chain. We then inject a small number of long…

easter egg Quantummany-body dynamics on the star graph
We study 2-local Hamiltonian quantum systems, consisting of qubits interacting on the star graph of N vertices. We numerically demonstrate that these models are generically nonintegrable at infinite
THE GENERALIZED OTOC FROM SUPERSYMMETRIC QUANTUM MECHANICS: Study of Random Fluctuations from Eigenstate Representation of Correlation Functions
The concept of out-of-time-ordered correlation (OTOC) function is treated as a very strong theoretical probe of quantum randomness, using which one can study both chaotic and non-chaotic phenomena in

It is argued that it is possible to distinguish between operator-hopping and operator growth dynamics; the latter being a hallmark of quantum chaos in many-body quantum systems.
The Generalized OTOC from Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics - Study of Random Fluctuations from Eigenstate Representation of Correlation Functions
A general class of OTOC, which can perfectly capture quantum randomness phenomena in a better way, is defined and an equivalent formalism of computation using a general time-independent Hamiltonian having well-defined eigenstate representation for integrable Supersymmetric quantum systems is demonstrated.

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 quantum mechanics with a

Exponential growth of thermal out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) is an indicator of a possible gravity dual, and a simple toy quantum model showing the growth is being looked for. We consider a
