标题： Detection of out-of-time-order correlators and information scrambling in cold atoms: Ladder-XX model

摘要： 时间顺序外关联函数（OTOC），最近成为量子混沌讨论的焦点，是理解量子多体系统不同相位中信息杂乱的一种工具。 我们提出了一种无序的阶梯自旋模型，XX阶梯，该模型可以在可扩展的冷原子装置中设计，以检测通过时间反向演化的新型符号反转协议的OTOC。 我们研究了XX阶梯的清洁和无序极限，并根据OTOC的衰减特性表征了模型的不同相位（遍历-MBL）。 出现的有效光锥表现出次线性行为，而蝴蝶锥则与光锥有显著不同，表现为超线性行为。 基于我们的结果，可以在局部设置中观察到信息杂乱如何在从广泛研究的一维自旋模型到未探索的二维自旋模型的转变过程中发生变化。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC), recently being the center of discussion on quantum chaos, are a tool to understand the information scrambling in different phases of quantum many-body systems. We propose a disordered ladder spin model, XX-ladder, which can be designed in a scalable cold atom setup to detect OTOC with a novel sign reversal protocol for the evolution backward in time. We study both the clean and disordered limits of XX-ladder and characterize different phases (ergodic-MBL) of the model based on the decay properties of OTOCs. Emergent effective lightcone shows sublinear behaviour, while the butterfly cones drastically differ from the lightcone via demonstrating superlinear behaviour. Based on our results, one can observe how the information scrambling changes in the transition from well-studied 1D spin models to unexplored 2D spin models in a local setting.
