We study information scrambling -- a spread of initially localized quantum information into the system's many degree of freedom -- in discrete-time quantum walks. We consider out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOC) and K-complexity as a…

Operator spreading under unitary time evolution has attracted a lot of attention recently, as a way to probe many-body quantum chaos. While quantities such as out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOC) do distinguish interacting from…

We discuss the probability distribution for the "size" of a time-evolving operator in the SYK model. Scrambling is related to the fact that as time passes, the distribution shifts towards larger operators. Initially, the rate is exponential…

We demonstrate that time-evolved operators can construct a Krylov space to compute Operator complexity and introduce Krylov observability as a measure of effective phase space dimension in quantum systems. We test Krylov observability in…

Krylov complexity is considered to provide a measure of the growth of operators evolving under Hamiltonian dynamics. The main strategy is the analysis of the structure of Krylov subspace $\mathcal{K}_M(\mathcal{H},\eta)$ spanned by the…

Krylov complexity measures the spread of an evolved state in a natural basis, induced by the generator of the dynamics and the initial state. Here, we study the spread in Hilbert space of the state of an Ising chain subject to a…

We demonstrate on a representative example of a planar hybrid system with digital sampling a sudden transition from a stable limit cycle to the onset of chaotic dynamics. We show that the scaling law in the size of the attractor is…

We study the coherent dynamics of globally coupled maps showing macroscopic chaos. With this term we indicate the hydrodynamical-like irregular behaviour of some global observables, with typical times much longer than the times related to…

Information in a chaotic quantum system will scramble across the system, preventing any local measurement from reconstructing it. The scrambling dynamics is key to understanding a wide range of quantum many-body systems. Here we use Holevo…
