• Abstract summary: We study a problem using a model of coupled quantum dots with interactions decaying as $frac1ralpha$, where each dot hosts $N$ degrees of freedom. Within this framework, we show that the parameters of the effective theory can be chosen to reproduce the butterfly light cone scalings.

• Abstract: The Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov (FKPP) equation provides a mean-field theory of out-of-time-ordered commutators in locally interacting quantum chaotic systems at high energy density; in the systems with power-law interactions, the corresponding fractional-derivative FKPP equation provides an analogous mean-field theory. However, the fractional FKPP description is potentially subject to strong quantum fluctuation effects, so it is not clear a priori if it provides a suitable effective description for generic chaotic systems with power-law interactions. Here we study this problem using a model of coupled quantum dots with interactions decaying as $\frac{1}{r^{\alpha}}$, where each dot hosts $N$ degrees of freedom. The large $N$ limit corresponds to the mean-field description, while quantum fluctuations contributing to the OTOC can be modeled by $\frac{1}{N}$ corrections consisting of a cutoff function and noise. Within this framework, we show that the parameters of the effective theory can be chosen to reproduce the butterfly light cone scalings that we previously found for $N=1$ and generic finite $N$. In order to reproduce these scalings, the fractional index $\mu$ in the FKPP equation needs to be shifted from the na\"ive value of $\mu = 2\alpha - 1$ to a renormalized value $\mu = 2\alpha - 2$. We provide supporting analytic evidence for the cutoff model and numerical confirmation for the full fractional FKPP equation with cutoff and noise.

  We study the quantum criticality of a two-site model combining quantum Rabi models with hopping interaction. We find that the model allows the appearance of a superradiant quantum phase transition (QPT) even in the presence of strong $mathbfA2$ terms. Our work provides a way to the study of phase transitions in presence of the $mathbfA2$ terms and offers the prospect of investigating quantum-criticality physics and quantum devices in many-body systems.
