Chaotic dynamics in quantum many-body systems scrambles local information so that at late times it can no longer be accessed locally. This is reflected quantitatively in the out-of-time-ordered correlator of local operators, which is expected to decay to zero with time. However, for systems of finite size, out-of-time-ordered correlators do not decay exactly to zero and in this paper we show that the residual value can provide useful insights into the chaotic dynamics. When energy is conserved, the late-time saturation value of the out-of-time-ordered correlator of generic traceless local operators scales as an inverse polynomial in the system size. This is in contrast to the inverse exponential scaling expected for chaotic dynamics without energy conservation. We provide both analytical arguments and numerical simulations to support this conclusion.

    The paper derives an equilibration bound for a truncated out-of-time-order correlator in the extended phase of any quadratic fermionic model, and numerically maps wavefront and momentum-space regimes in the Aubry-André model.

    quant-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For a correlated quench with a single excitation, local observable dynamics equals the survival probability, giving IPR squared fluctuation scaling and suppressed scrambling.
