• Abstract summary: We study the interplay between local criticality and chaos right at the intricate phase space region where the integrability-chaos transition first appears. Our aim is to investigate the dependence of the exponential growth of the OTOCs, defining the quantum Lyapunov exponent $lambda_textrmq$ on quantities derived from the classical system.

• Abstract: Fast scrambling, quantified by the exponential initial growth of Out-of-Time-Ordered-Correlators (OTOCs), is the ability to efficiently spread quantum correlations among the degrees of freedom of interacting systems, and constitutes a characteristic signature of local unstable dynamics. As such, it may equally manifest both in systems displaying chaos or in integrable systems around criticality. Here, we go beyond these extreme regimes with an exhaustive study of the interplay between local criticality and chaos right at the intricate phase space region where the integrability-chaos transition first appears. We address systems with a well defined classical (mean-field) limit, as coupled large spins and Bose-Hubbard chains, thus allowing for semiclassical analysis. Our aim is to investigate the dependence of the exponential growth of the OTOCs, defining the quantum Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_{\textrm{q}}$ on quantities derived from the classical system with mixed phase space, specifically the local stability exponent of a fixed point $\lambda_{\textrm{loc}}$ as well as the maximal Lyapunov exponent $\lambda_{\textrm{L}}$ of the chaotic region around it. By extensive numerical simulations covering a wide range of parameters we give support to a conjectured linear dependence $2\lambda_{\textrm{q}}=a\lambda_{\textrm{L}}+b\lambda_{\textrm{loc}}$, providing a simple route to characterize scrambling at the border between chaos and integrability.

• Entanglement and localization in long-range quadratic Lindbladians [49.1574468325115]
  Signatures of localization have been observed in condensed matter and cold atomic systems. We propose a model of one-dimensional chain of non-interacting, spinless fermions coupled to a local ensemble of baths. We show that the steady state of the system undergoes a localization entanglement phase transition by tuning $p$ which remains stable in the presence of coherent hopping.

• Dynamical transitions from slow to fast relaxation in random open quantum systems [0.0]
  We study a model in which the system Hamiltonian and its couplings to the noise are random matrices whose entries decay as power laws of distance. The steady state is always featureless, but the rate at which it is approached exhibits three phases depending on $alpha_H$ and $alpha_L$. Within perturbation theory, the phase boundaries in the $(alpha_H, alpha_L)$ plane differ for weak and strong dissipation, suggesting phase transitions as a function of noise strength.

• Onset of many-body quantum chaos due to breaking integrability [0.0]
  We argue that the onset of quantum chaos can be described as a Fock-space delocalization process. The integrability-breaking perturbation introduces hopping in this Fock space, and chaos sets in when this hopping delocalizes the many-body eigenstates in this space. In either case, the perturbation strength at the onset of chaos scales to zero in the usual thermodynamic limit.
