Operator delocalization in quantum networks

J Kim, J Murugan, J Olle, D Rosa - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
We investigate the delocalization of operators in nonchaotic quantum systems whose
interactions are encoded in an underlying graph or network. In particular, we study how fast …

Quantum scrambling with classical shadows

RJ Garcia, Y Zhou, A Jaffe - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
Quantum dynamics is of fundamental interest and has implications in quantum information
processing. The four-point out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) is traditionally used to …

Probing the entanglement of operator growth

D Patramanis - Progress of Theoretical and Experimental …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
