Given a quantum many-body system with few-body interactions, how rapidly can quantum information be hidden during time evolution? The fast scrambling conjecture is that the time to thoroughly mix information among N degrees of freedom grows…

Quantum small-worlds are quantum many-body systems that interpolate between completely ordered (nearest-neighbour, next-to-nearest-neighbour etc.) and completely random interactions. As such, they furnish a novel new laboratory to study…

In this study, we investigate out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) in systems with power-law decaying interactions such as $R^{-\alpha}$, where $R$ is the distance. In such systems, the fast scrambling of quantum information or the…
