The out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) quantifies information scrambling in quantum systems and serves as a key diagnostic of quantum chaos. In one-body systems with a classical counterpart, the relaxation of the OTOC is governed by…
Chaotic dynamics is always characterized by swarms of unstable trajectories, unpredictable individually, and thus generally studied statistically. It is often the case that such phase-space densities relax exponentially fast to a limiting…
Recent progress toward classifying low-dimensional chaos measured from time series data is described. This classification theory assigns a template to the time series once the time series is embedded in three dimensions. The template…
We discuss the predictability of a conservative system that drives a chaotic system with positive maximum Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_0$, such as the erratic motion of an asteroid in the gravitational field of two bodies of much larger mass.…
Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown significance of quantum information scrambling (i.e. a spread of quantum information over a system degrees of freedom) for problems encountered in high-energy physics, quantum…
We propose a mechanism which produces periodic variations of the degree of predictability in dynamical systems. It is shown that even in the absence of noise when the control parameter changes periodically in time, below and above the…
What is chaos? Despite several decades of research on this ubiquitous and fundamental phenomenon there is yet no agreed-upon answer to this question. Recently, it was realized that all stochastic and deterministic differential equations,…
If you are given a simple three-dimensional autonomous quadratic system that has only one stable equilibrium, what would you predict its dynamics to be, stable or periodic? Will it be surprising if you are shown that such a system is…

We use a combination of analytical and numerical methods to study out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs) in the sparse Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We find that at a given order of N , the standard result for the q-local, all-to-all SYK,…
We investigate why the Lyapunov exponents $\lambda$ of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) satisfy a universal bound $\lambda < 2 \pi k_B T/{\hbar}$ by probing imaginary-time path-integral space using ring-polymer molecular dynamics…
The control of chaotic systems implies inducing an unpredictable system to follow a desired trajectory using the smallest "force". In low-dimensional continuous systems, one method is that of reconstructing the tangent space, so that the…
In this paper we investigate measures of chaos and entanglement in rational conformal field theories in 1+1 dimensions. First, we derive a universal formula for the late time value of the out-of-time-ordered correlators for this class of…
We study populations of oscillators, all-to-all coupled by means of quenched disordered phase shifts. While there is no traditional synchronization transition with a nonvanishing Kuramoto order parameter, the system demonstrates a specific…
We consider a mechanism for area preserving Hamiltonian systems which leads to the enhanced probability, $P(\lambda, t)$, to find small values of the finite time Lyapunov exponent, $\lambda$. In our investigation of chaotic dynamical…
We provide conditions on the coupling function such that a system of 4 globally coupled identical oscillators has chaotic attractors, a pair of Lorenz attractors or a 4-winged analogue of the Lorenz attractor. The attractors emerge near the…

Out-of-time ordered correlators are a probe of how the information of an initial perturbation is effectively scrambled under unitary time evolution, widely used to study quantum chaos. They have also been used to demonstrate that…
