• Abstract: The spreading of quantum information in closed systems, often termed scrambling, is a hallmark of many-body quantum dynamics. In open systems, scrambling competes with noise, errors and decoherence. Here, we provide a universal framework that describes the scrambling of quantum information in open systems: we predict that the effect of open-system dynamics is fundamentally controlled by operator size distributions and independent of the microscopic error mechanism. This framework allows us to demonstrate that open quantum systems exhibit universal classes of information dynamics that fundamentally differ from their unitary counterparts. Implications for Loschmidt echo experiments and the classical simulability of open quantum dynamics will be discussed.

• Quantum fluctuation dynamics of open quantum systems with collective operator-valued rates, and applications to Hopfield-like networks [0.0]
  We consider a class of open quantum many-body systems that evolves in a Markovian fashion, the dynamical generator being in GKS-Lindblad form. Focusing on the dynamics emerging in the limit of infinitely large systems, we build on the exactness of the mean-field equations for the dynamics of average operators. In this framework, we derive the dynamics of quantum fluctuation operators, that can be used in turn to understand the fate of quantum correlations in the system.

• Steady-state quantum chaos in open quantum systems [0.0]
  We introduce the notion of steady-state quantum chaos as a general phenomenon in open quantum many-body systems. Chaos and integrability in the steady state of an open quantum system are instead uniquely determined by the spectral structure of the time evolution generator. We study steady-state chaos in the driven-dissipative Bose-Hubbard model, a paradigmatic example of out-of-equilibrium bosonic system without particle number conservation.
