abstract

We study operator growth in a model of $N(N-1)/2$ interacting Majorana fermions, which live on the edges of a complete graph of $N$ vertices. Terms in the Hamiltonian are proportional to the product of $q$ fermions which live on the edges of cycles of length $q$. This model is a cartoon "matrix model": the interaction graph mimics that of a single-trace matrix model, which can be holographically dual to quantum gravity. We prove (non-perturbatively in $1/N$, and without averaging over any ensemble) that the scrambling time of this model is at least of order $\log N$, consistent with the fast scrambling conjecture. We comment on apparent similarities and differences between operator growth in our "matrix model" and in the melonic models.

    All-to-all Hamiltonians can simulate any two-qubit gate in about 1/N time and any depth-D circuit in about D/√N time, with polynomially small error.

  2. Refining the Understanding of Operator Size Dynamics in Open Quantum Systems

    quant-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In Brownian SYK models, operator size under the bath-traced Lindblad definition shows a scrambling signature only for intra-system interactions, with the same early-time critical point as the full-contour definition, ...

  3. Scrambling Enabled Entropy Accumulation in Open Quantum Systems

    quant-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A weak probe coupled to an open quantum system accumulates a finite Rényi entropy increase only when the system is in the scrambling phase, vanishing in the dissipative phase as the probe coupling goes to zero.
