We investigate the classical-quantum correspondence in the inverted harmonic oscillator (IHO) system. It is shown that the out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) which the initial states are located at any position in the IHO system possess…

In semi-classical systems, the exponential growth of the out-of-timeorder correlator (OTOC) is believed to be the hallmark of quantum chaos. However,on several occasions, it has been argued that, even in integrable systems, OTOC can grow…

Information scrambling refers to the phenomenon in which local quantum information in a many-body system becomes dispersed throughout the entire system under unitary evolution. It has been extensively studied in closed quantum systems,…

The relaxation of a dissipative system to its equilibrium state often shows a multiexponential pattern with relaxation rates, which are typically considered to be independent of the initial condition. The rates follow from the spectrum of a…

The Lindblad equation determines the time evolution of the density operator of open quantum systems. While valid for any system size, its use is, in practice, restricted to prototype/surrogate models with the aim of tackling specific…

We consider operator growth for generic large-N gauge theories at finite temperature. Our analysis is performed in terms of Fourier modes, which do not mix with other operators as time evolves, and whose correlation functions are determined…

For a closed system with periodic driving, Floquet theorem tells that the time evolution operator can be written as $ U(t,0)\equiv P(t)e^{\frac{-i}{\hbar}H_F t}$ with $P(t+T)=P(t)$, and $H_F$ is Hermitian and time-independent called Floquet…

We develop a novel framework to engineer persistent oscillatory modes in Markovian open quantum systems governed by a time-independent Lindblad master equation. We show that oscillatory modes can be created when the Hamiltonian and jump…

Out-of-Time-Order-Correlator (OTOC) and Loschmidt Echo (LE) are commonly regarded as diagnostic tools for chaos, although they may yield misleading results because of various other factors. Previous studies have concluded that OTOC shows…
