We show that out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) constitute a probe for Local-Operator Entanglement (LOE). There is strong evidence that a volumetric growth of LOE is a faithful dynamical indicator of quantum chaos, while OTOC decay corresponds to operator scrambling, often conflated with chaos. We show that rapid OTOC decay is a necessary but not sufficient condition for linear (chaotic) growth of the LOE entropy. We analytically support our results through wide classes of local-circuit models of many-body dynamics, including both integrable and non-integrable dual-unitary circuits. We show sufficient conditions under which local dynamics leads to an equivalence of scrambling and chaos.

Thermalization with partial information
A maximum channel entropy principle, backed by a microcanonical-style derivation, identifies the canonical noisy channel that models thermalization under partial information.
