• Abstract summary: We consider a benchmark system, the kicked top model, which displays chaotic behaviour in the classical version. We introduce for this scope the quasi-probability distribution behind the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC) We compare the behavior of the nonclassicality with entanglement measures, such as the tripartite mutual information of the Hamiltonian.

• Abstract: While classical chaos has been successfully characterized with consistent theories and intuitive techniques, such as with the use of Lyapunov exponents, quantum chaos is still poorly understood, as well as its relation with multi-partite entanglement and information scrambling. We consider a benchmark system, the kicked top model, which displays chaotic behaviour in the classical version, and proceed to characterize the quantum case with a thorough diagnosis of the growth of chaos and entanglement in time. As a novel tool for the characterization of quantum chaos, we introduce for this scope the quasi-probability distribution behind the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC). We calculate the cumulative nonclassicality of this distribution, which has already been shown to outperform the simple use of OTOC as a probe to distinguish between integrable and nonintegrable Hamiltonians. To provide a thorough comparative analysis, we contrast the behavior of the nonclassicality with entanglement measures, such as the tripartite mutual information of the Hamiltonian as well as the entanglement entropy. We find that systems whose initial states would lie in the "sea of chaos" in the classical kicked-top model, exhibit, as they evolve in time, characteristics associated with chaotic behavior and entanglement production in closed quantum systems. We corroborate this indication by capturing it with this novel OTOC-based measure.

  We study the adiabatic gauge potential (AGP), an object that describes deformations of a quantum state under adiabatic variation of the Hamiltonian. We show how the time variance of the AGP over a trajectory probes the long-time correlations of a generic observable. We demonstrate that strongly and weakly chaotic regimes correspond to normal and anomalous diffusion, respectively.

• Probing quantum chaos with the entropy of decoherent histories [0.0]
  Quantum chaos, a phenomenon that began to be studied in the last century, still does not have a rigorous understanding. We propose the quantum chaos definition in the manner similar to the classical one using decoherent histories as a quantum analogue of trajectories. We show that for such a model, the production of entropy of decoherent histories is radically different in integrable and chaotic regimes.
