摘要:

遍历自旋链中的算子根据流体动力学运动方程增长。这种算符扩展的研究有助于我们理解自旋链中的多体量子混沌。在这里,我们开始研究的“运营商扩展”在量子映射的环面,系统没有一个张量积希尔伯特空间或空间局部性的概念。以受扰Arnold猫映射为例,分析比较了经典相空间上函数的演化和量子算符演化,并确定了表征量子混沌映射中算符动力学的不同时标.直到一个爱因斯坦时间,量子系统表现出经典混沌,即它模仿相应的经典系统的行为。经过一段算符置乱时间后,算符在初始基中看起来是“随机的”,这是量子混沌的一个特征。这些时间尺度可以通过光谱形状因子与幺正的准能谱相关。此外,我们展示了远离经典极限的量子问题中的“涌现经典性”的例子。最后,我们以Chirikov标准映射为例,研究了非混沌和混合量子映射中的算符演化。

英文摘要:

Operators in ergodic spin-chains are found to grow according to hydrodynamical equations of motion. The study of such operator spreading has aided our understanding of many-body quantum chaos in spin-chains. Here we initiate the study of "operator spreading" in quantum maps on a torus, systems which do not have a tensor-product Hilbert space or a notion of spatial locality. Using the perturbed Arnold cat map as an example, we analytically compare and contrast the evolutions of functions on classical phase space and quantum operator evolutions, and identify distinct timescales that characterize the dynamics of operators in quantum chaotic maps. Until an Ehrenfest time, the quantum system exhibits classical chaos, i.e. it mimics the behavior of the corresponding classical system. After an operator scrambling time, the operator looks "random" in the initial basis, a characteristic feature of quantum chaos. These timescales can be related to the quasi-energy spectrum of the unitary via the spectral form factor. Furthermore, we show examples of "emergent classicality" in quantum problems far away from the classical limit. Finally, we study operator evolution in non-chaotic and mixed quantum maps using the Chirikov standard map as an example.
