Abstract: This paper investigates the temperature dependence of quantum information scrambling in local systems with an energy gap, $m$, above the ground state. We study the speed and shape of growing Heisenberg operators as quantified by out-of-time-order correlators, with particular attention paid to so-called contour dependence, i.e. dependence on the way operators are distributed around the thermal circle. We report large scale tensor network numerics on a gapped chaotic spin chain down to temperatures comparable to the gap which show that the speed of operator growth is strongly contour dependent. The numerics also show a characteristic broadening of the operator wavefront at finite temperature $T$. To study the behavior at temperatures much below the gap, we perform a perturbative calculation in the paramagnetic phase of a 2+1D O($N$) non-linear sigma model, which is analytically tractable at large $N$. Using the ladder diagram technique, we find that operators spread at a speed $\sqrt{T/m}$ at low temperatures, $T\ll m$. In contrast to the numerical findings of spin chain, the large $N$ computation is insensitive to the contour dependence and does not show broadening of operator front. We discuss these results in the context of a recently proposed state-dependent bound on scrambling.

Periodically driven Rydberg chains with staggered detuning [0.0]
We study the stroboscopic dynamics of a driven finite Rydberg chain with staggered ($Delta$) and time-dependent uniform ($lambda(t)$) detuning terms using exact diagonalization (ED) We show that at intermediate drive ($omega_D$), the presence of a finite $Delta$ results in violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) via clustering of Floquet eigenstates. The violation of ETH in these driven finite-sized chains is also evident from the dynamical freezing displayed by the density density correlation function at specific $omega_D

Zitterbewegung and Klein-tunneling phenomena for transient quantum waves [77.34726150561087]
We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
