Description

Scrambling, loss and possible retrieval of quantum information in many-body systems are important concepts presently studied in various setups. The workshop will discuss progress and future directions in the inter-related fields of information scrambling, complex quantum dynamics, chaos and criticality, by focusing on out-of-time-ordered correlators as a privileged tool. Quantifying the time-growth of operators provides a unifying paradigm that favors the convergence of different physics communities to be represented at the workshop, comprising both theory and experiment. Topics include Out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) as indicators for various types of quantum many-body dynamics Relation of OTOCs to other measures of (in)stability and complexity growth Experiments and experimental protocols Generality of the bounds on chaos OTOCs as tools to differentiate many-body and few-body quantum chaos Semiclassical approaches to OTOCs OTOCs, entanglement and quantum thermodynamics OTOCs and the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis Dynamical quantum phase transitions and many-body chaos near phase transitions
