• Abstract summary: A general bound on the Lyapunov exponent of a quantum system is given by $lambda_Lleq2pi,T/hbar$, where $T$ is the system temperature. We show that the IHO may exhibit the behavior of thermal energy emission, in close analogy to the Hawking radiation emitted by black holes. We derive the corresponding out-of-time-ordered correlation function (OTOC) diagnosing quantum chaos, and theoretically show, that the effective temperature of the trapped-ion-IHO matches the upper MSS bound for the speed of scrambling

• Abstract: A general bound on the Lyapunov exponent of a quantum system is given by $\lambda_L\leq2\pi\,T/\hbar$, where $T$ is the system temperature, as established by Maldacena, Shenker, and Stanford (MSS). This upper bound is saturated when the system under consideration is the exact holographic dual of a black hole. It has also been shown that an inverted harmonic oscillator (IHO) may exhibit the behavior of thermal energy emission, in close analogy to the Hawking radiation emitted by black holes. We demonstrate that the Lyapunov exponent of the IHO indeed saturates the MSS bound, with an effective temperature equal to the analogue black hole radiation temperature, and propose using a trapped ion as a physical implementation of the IHO. We derive the corresponding out-of-time-ordered correlation function (OTOC) diagnosing quantum chaos, and theoretically show, for an experimentally realizable setup, that the effective temperature of the trapped-ion-IHO matches the upper MSS bound for the speed of scrambling.

We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
