Topological lower bound on quantum chaos by entanglement growth

Zongping Gong, Lorenzo Piroli, J. Ignacio Cirac

A fundamental result in modern quantum chaos theory is the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford upper bound on the growth of out-of-time-order correlators, whose infinite-temperature limit i…

Inferring Nonlinear Many-Body Bell Inequalities From Average Two-Body Correlations: Systematic Approach for Arbitrary Spin-j Ensembles

Guillem Müller-Rigat, Albert Aloy, Maciej Lewenstein +1

Violating Bell's inequalities (BIs) allows one to certify the preparation of entangled states from minimal assumptions -- in a device-independent manner. Finding BIs tailored to ma…
