As strength of disorder enhances beyond a threshold value in many-body systems, a fundamental transformation happens through which the entire spectrum localizes, a phenomenon known as many-body localization. This has profound implications…

We compute the scrambling rate at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) quantum critical point, using the fixed point theory of Phys. Rev. X $\boldsymbol{7}$, 021010 (2017). At this strongly coupled fixed point, there is an emergent control parameter…
