Fast scrambling dynamics and many-body localization transition in an all-to-all disordered quantum spin model

Abstract

We study the quantum thermalization and information scrambling dynamics of an experimentally realizable quantum spin model with homogeneous XX-type all-to-all interactions and random local potentials. We identify the thermalization-localization transition by changing the disorder strength, under a proper all-to-all interaction strength. The scrambling dynamics in the localization phase shows novel behaviors distinct from that of local models. The operator scrambling grows almost equally fast in both phases. In the thermal phase, we show there exhibits fast scrambling without appealing to the semi-classical limit. We also briefly discuss the experimental realization of the model using superconducting qubit quantum simulators.
