Local Operator Entanglement (LOE) has emerged an indicator of quantum chaos in many-body systems. Numerical studies have shown that, in chaotic systems, LOE grows linearly in time and displays a volume-law behavior at late times, scaling…

We study how matrix-product-operator (MPO) truncation errors evolve when simulating two setups: (1) 1D Haar-random circuits under either depolarizing noise or amplitude-damping noise, and (2) 1D Lindbladian dynamics of a non-integrable…

We show how to simulate numerically both the evolution of 1D quantum systems under dissipation as well as in thermal equilibrium. The method applies to both finite and inhomogeneous systems and it is based on two ideas: (a) a representation…

Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) have proven to be a useful tool for studying thermalisation in quantum systems. In particular, the exponential growth of OTOCS, or scrambling, is sometimes taken as an indicator of chaos in quantum…

Scrambling, a process in which quantum information spreads over a complex quantum system becoming inaccessible to simple probes, happens in generic chaotic quantum many-body systems, ranging from spin chains, to metals, even to black holes.…
