Universal Properties of the Spectral Form Factor in Open Quantum Systems

Yi-Neng Zhou, Tian-Gang Zhou, Pengfei Zhang

The spectral form factor (SFF) can probe the eigenvalue statistic at different energy scales as its time variable varies. In closed quantum chaotic systems, the SFF exhibits a univ…

Temporal Entanglement in Chaotic Quantum Circuits

Alessandro Foligno, Tianci Zhou, Bruno Bertini

The concept of space-evolution (or space-time duality) has emerged as a promising approach for studying quantum dynamics. The basic idea involves exchanging the roles of space and…

Operator Growth from Global Out-of-time-order Correlators

Tianci Zhou, Brian Swingle

In the context of chaotic quantum many-body systems, we show that operator growth, as diagnosed by out-of-time-order correlators of local operators, also leaves a sharp imprint in…
