Matrix product states approaches to operator spreading in ergodic quantum systems
arXiv:1901.05793 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.104303
Abstract
We review different tensor network approaches to study the spreading of operators in generic nonintegrable quantum systems. As a common ground to all methods, we quantify this spreading by means of the Frobenius norm of the commutator of a spreading operator with a local operator, which is usually referred to as the out of time order correlation (OTOC) function. We compare two approaches based on matrix-product states in the Schrödinger picture: the time dependent block decimation (TEBD) and the time dependent variational principle (TDVP), as well as TEBD based on matrix-product operators directly in the Heisenberg picture. The results of all methods are compared to numerically exact results using Krylov space exact time evolution. We find that for the Schrödinger picture the TDVP algorithm performs better than the TEBD algorithm. Moreover the tails of the OTOC are accurately obtained both by TDVP MPS and TEBD MPO. They are in very good agreement with exact results at short times, and appear to be converged in bond dimension even at longer times. However the growth and saturation regimes are not well captured by both methods.
