We study out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) of the form 〈 A ^ ( t ) B ^ ( 0 ) C ^ ( t ) D ^ ( 0 ) 〉 for a quantum system weakly coupled to a dissipative environment. Such an open system may serve as a model of, e.g., a small region in a disordered interacting medium coupled to the rest of this medium considered as an environment. We demonstrate that for a system with discrete energy levels the OTOC saturates exponentially ∝Σa i e -t/τi + const to a constant value at t → ∞, in contrast with…

Three separate cases of operators, variously localized in the coin and walker spaces, are discussed in this context and it is found that the approximated behavior of the OTOC is well described by simple algebraic functions in all three cases with different timescales of growth.
