Does scrambling equal chaos?
read the original abstract
Focusing on semiclassical systems, we show that the parametrically long exponential growth of out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs), also known as scrambling, does not necessitate chaos. Indeed, scrambling can simply result from the presence of unstable fixed points in phase space, even in a classically integrable model. We derive a lower bound on the OTOC Lyapunov exponent which depends only on local properties of such fixed points. We present several models for which this bound is tight, i.e. for which scrambling is dominated by the local dynamics around the fixed points. We propose that the notion of scrambling be distinguished from that of chaos.

Krylov Winding and Emergent Coherence in Operator Growth Dynamics
Krylov winding emerges as a generic feature of quantum chaotic systems from the universal operator growth bound, producing size winding when a low-rank Krylov-to-size mapping exists and the chaos bound saturates.

Operator spreading and recoverability of local quantum Fisher information in a $U(1)$-broken spin chain
In a U(1)-broken XX spin chain the local quantum Fisher information shows no first-order depletion in the transverse field and drops at second order via two-magnon scattering, while a single-qubit decoder cannot recov...

Towards a Refinement of Krylov Complexity: Scrambling, Classical Operator Growth and Replicas
LogK complexity via replicas distinguishes genuine scrambling from saddle effects in quantum and classical systems and refines the measure for integrable cases.

Higher-Order Corrections to Scrambling Dynamics in Brownian Spin SYK Models
Operator growth in Brownian spin SYK is solved beyond leading order with a generating-function 1/N perturbation theory; higher-order corrections set the late-time universal (two-body) and parity-protected (three-body)...
