Abstract

We study the quantum chaos in the Bose-Fermi Kondo model in which the impurity spin interacts with conduction electrons and a bosonic bath at the intermediate temperature in the large NN limit. The out-of-time-ordered correlator is calculated based on the Bethe-Salpeter equation and the Lyapunov exponent λL\lambda_L is extracted. Our calculation shows that the Lyapunov exponent monotonically increases as the Kondo coupling JKJ_K increases, and it can reach an order of λLT\lambda_L\sim T as JKJ_K approaches the MCKMCK point. Furthermore, we also demonstrate that λL\lambda_L decreases monotonously as the impurity and bosonic bath coupling gg increases, which is contrary to the general expectation that the most chaotic property occurs at the quantum critical point with the non-Fermi liquid nature.
