Out-of-Time-Order Correlators in One-Dimensional XY model

Abstract

Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC) are considered to be a promising tool to characterize chaos in quantum systems. In this paper we study OTOC in XY model. With the presence of anisotropic parameter $\gamma$ and external magnetic field $\lambda$ in the Hamiltonian, we mainly focus on their influences on OTOC in thermodynamical limit. We find that the butterfly speed $v_B$ is dependent of these two parameters, and the recent conjectured universal form which characterizes the wavefront of chaos spreading are proved to be positive with varying $v_B$ in different phases of XY model. Moreover, we also study the behaviors of OTOC with fixed location, and we find that the early-time part fully agrees with the results derived from Hausdorff-Baker-Campbell expansion. The long-time part is studied either, while in the local case $C(t)$ decay as power law $t^{-1}$, $|F(t)|$ with nonlocal operators show quite interesting and nontrivial power law decay corresponding to different choices of operators and models. At last, we observe temperature dependence for OTOC with local operators at ($\gamma =0,\lambda =1$), and divergent behavior with low temperature for nonlocal operator case at late time.
