Refined quantum Lyapunov exponents from replica out-of-time-order correlators
arXiv:2308.02392 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.108.105023
Abstract
We suggest a new indicator of quantum chaos based on the logarithmic out-of-time-order correlator. On the one hand, this indicator correctly reproduces the average classical Lyapunov exponent in the semiclassical limit and directly links the definitions of quantum chaos and classical K-system. On the other hand, it can be analytically calculated using the replica trick and the Schwinger-Keldysh diagram technique on a -fold Keldysh contour. To illustrate this approach, we consider several one-dimensional systems, including the quantum cat map, and three paradigmatic large- models, including the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. Furthermore, we find that correlations between replicas can reduce the magnitude of the Lyapunov exponent compared to estimates based on conventional out-of-time-order correlators.
