A fundamental result in modern quantum chaos theory is the Maldacena-Shenker-Stanford upper bound on the growth of out-of-time-order correlators, whose infinite-temperature limit is related to the operator-space entanglement entropy of the…

We study the Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_L$ in quantum field theories with spacetime-independent disorder interactions. Generically $\lambda_L$ can only be computed at isolated points in parameter space, and little is known about the way in…

In self-gravitating $N$-body systems, small perturbations introduced at the start, or infinitesimal errors that are produced by the numerical integrator or are due to limited precision in the computer, grow exponentially with time. For…

The exponential growth of the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) has been proposed as a quantum signature of classical chaos. The growth rate is expected to coincide with the classical Lyapunov exponent. This quantum-classical…

Machine learning processes, e.g. ''learning in games'', can be viewed as non-linear dynamical systems. In general, such systems exhibit a wide spectrum of behaviors, ranging from stability/recurrence to the undesirable phenomena of chaos…

In large $N$ chaotic quantum systems, the butterfly effect is mediated by a collective field mode known as the ``scramblon.'' We study self-interactions of the scramblon in variants of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. In spatially extended…
