abstract

Out-of-time-order correlation functions provide a proxy for diagnosing chaos in quantum systems. We propose and analyze an interferometric scheme for their measurement, using only local quantum control and no reverse time evolution. Our approach utilizes a combination of Ramsey interferometry and the recently demonstrated ability to directly measure Renyi entropies. To implement our scheme, we present a pair of cold-atom-based experimental blueprints; moreover, we demonstrate that within these systems, one can naturally realize the transverse-field Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (TFSK) model, which exhibits certain similarities with fast scrambling black holes. We perform a detailed numerical study of scrambling in the TFSK model, observing an interesting interplay between the fast scrambling bound and the onset of spin-glass order.

Irreducible Geometry of Higher-Order Correlator Families

quant-ph · 2026-07-09 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Higher-order correlator families are recast as operator-space geometries that, when conditioned on a chosen subspace, reveal irreducible structures distinguishing free, integrable, chaotic, localized, and Floquet dynamics.

Provable quantum thermalization without statistical averages

quant-ph · 2026-04-02 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A geometric result links quantum thermalization in almost all accessible pure states to saturation of controllably nonlocal out-of-time-ordered correlators, avoiding statistical averages entirely.

Quantum chaos in many-body systems of indistinguishable particles

quant-ph · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Reviews the many-body semiclassical propagator and its use in explaining quantum chaos phenomena such as spectral correlations, eigenstate morphology, weak localization, and out-of-time-order correlators in indistinguishable particle systems.
