We discuss the generalized quantum Lyapunov exponents Lq, defined from the growth rate of the powers of the square commutator. They may be related to an appropriately defined thermodynamic limit of the spectrum of the commutator, which plays the role of a large deviation function, obtained from the exponents Lq via a Legendre transform. We show that such exponents obey a generalized bound to chaos due to the fluctuation–dissipation theorem, as already discussed in the literature. The bounds for…

Thermal quenching of classical and semiclassical chaos

The growth rate of out-of-time ordered correlators (OTOCs) provide for the notion of a quantum Lyapunov exponent, which quantifies chaos and information scrambling in quantum systems. In thermal…

Microcanonical windows on quantum operators

We discuss a construction of a microcanonical projection WOW of a quantum operator O, its spectrum, and the retrieval of canonical many-time correlations from it.

Positive quantum Lyapunov exponents in experimental systems with a regular classical limit.

It is shown that for experimentally accessible parameters, OTOCs can grow exponentially also when the Dicke model is in the regular regime, and the same holds for the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model, which is integrable and also experimentally realizable.

Quantum Bound to Chaos and the Semiclassical Limit

We discuss the quantum bound on chaos in the context of the free propagation of a particle in an arbitrarily curved surface at low temperatures. The semiclassical calculation of the Lyapunov exponent…

A bound on chaos

A bstractWe conjecture a sharp bound on the rate of growth of chaos in thermal quantum systems with a large number of degrees of freedom. Chaos can be diagnosed using an out-of-time-order correlation…

Bridging entanglement dynamics and chaos in semiclassical systems

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 unifying framework…

Quantum signatures of chaos

The distinction between level clustering and level repulsion is one of the quantum analogues of the classical distinction between globally regular and predominantly chaotic motion (see Figs. 1, 2,…
