• Authors: Paolo Zanardi and Namit Anand
• Abstract summary: "Open bipartite OTOC" can be treated in an exact analytical fashion and is shown to amount to a distance between two quantum channels. Our analytical form unveils competing entropic contributions from information scrambling and environmental decoherence. As a physical application we numerically study dissipative many-body spin-chains and show how the competing entropic effects can be used to differentiate between integrable and chaotic regimes.

• Abstract: Out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) have been extensively used over the last few years to study information scrambling and quantum chaos in many-body systems. In this paper, we extend the formalism of the averaged bipartite OTOC of Styliaris et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 030601 (2021)] to the case of open quantum systems. The dynamics is no longer unitary but it is described by more general quantum channels (trace preserving, completely positive maps). This "open bipartite OTOC" can be treated in an exact analytical fashion and is shown to amount to a distance between two quantum channels. Moreover, our analytical form unveils competing entropic contributions from information scrambling and environmental decoherence such that the latter can obfuscate the former. To elucidate this subtle interplay we analytically study special classes of quantum channels, namely, dephasing channels, entanglement-breaking channels, and others. Finally, as a physical application we numerically study dissipative many-body spin-chains and show how the competing entropic effects can be used to differentiate between integrable and chaotic regimes.

• Scrambling of Algebras in Open Quantum Systems [0.0]
  We introduce an algebraic OTOC ($mathcalA$-OTOC) that allows us to study information scrambling of quantum subsystems under quantum channels. For closed quantum systems, this framework was recently employed to unify quantum information-theoretic notions of operator entanglement, coherence-generating power, and Loschmidt echo. Our numerical results reveal connections with many-body scars and the stability of decoherence-free subspaces.

For closed systems, analytical and numerical tools can accurately capture the time-evolution of subsystem entropies. Here, we make progress by formulating a dissipative quasi-particle picture for a general class of noninteracting open quantum systems.
