Scrambling in strongly chaotic weakly coupled bipartite systems: Universality beyond the Ehrenfest time-scale
arXiv:1904.06482 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.101.121108
Abstract
Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC), vigorously being explored as a measure of quantum chaos and information scrambling, is studied here in the natural and simplest multi-particle context of bipartite systems. We show that two strongly chaotic and weakly interacting subsystems display two distinct phases in the growth of OTOC.The first is dominated by intra-subsystem scrambling, when an exponential growth with a positive Lyapunov exponent is observed till the Ehrenfest time. This phase is essentially independent of the interaction, while the second phase is an interaction dominated exponential approach to saturation that is universal and described by a random matrix model. This simple random matrix model of weakly interacting strongly chaotic bipartite systems, previously employed for studying entanglement and spectral transitions, is approximately analytically solvable for its OTOC. The example of two coupled kicked rotors is used to demonstrate the two phases, and the extent to which the random matrix model is applicable. That the two phases correspond to delocalization in the subsystems followed by inter-subsystem mixing is seen via the participation ratio in phase-space. We also point out that the second, universal, phase alone exists when the observables are in a sense already scrambled. Thus, while the post-Ehrenfest time OTOC growth is in general not well-understood, the case of strongly chaotic and weakly coupled systems presents an, perhaps important, exception.
