• Abstract summary: Non-KAM systems offer a fast route to classical chaos through an abrupt breaking of invariant phase space tori. We employ out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) to study the dynamical sensitivity of a perturbed non-KAM system in the quantum limit. Our findings suggest that the short-time dynamics remain relatively more stable and show the exponential growth found in the literature for unstable fixed points.

• Abstract: Non-KAM (Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser) systems, when perturbed by weak time-dependent fields, offer a fast route to classical chaos through an abrupt breaking of invariant phase space tori. In this work, we employ out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) to study the dynamical sensitivity of a perturbed non-KAM system in the quantum limit as the parameter that characterizes the $\textit{resonance}$ condition is slowly varied. For this purpose, we consider a quantized kicked harmonic oscillator (KHO) model, which displays stochastic webs resembling Arnold's diffusion that facilitate large-scale diffusion in the phase space. Although the Lyapunov exponent of the KHO at resonances remains close to zero in the weak perturbative regime, making the system weakly chaotic in the conventional sense, the classical phase space undergoes significant structural changes. Motivated by this, we study the OTOCs when the system is in resonance and contrast the results with the non-resonant case. At resonances, we observe that the long-time dynamics of the OTOCs are sensitive to these structural changes, where they grow quadratically as opposed to linear or stagnant growth at non-resonances. On the other hand, our findings suggest that the short-time dynamics remain relatively more stable and show the exponential growth found in the literature for unstable fixed points. The numerical results are backed by analytical expressions derived for a few special cases. We will then extend our findings concerning the non-resonant cases to a broad class of near-integrable KAM systems.

  We consider the string-breaking dynamics within the Schwinger model and investigate its modification inside a thermal medium.

We discuss how the Liouvillian dynamics of the open Schwinger model can be simulated on quantum computers.

  We investigate within a spin-boson model the influence of a super-Ohmic environment on the dynamics of a quantum two-state system. Super-Ohmic purely dephasing fluctuations strongly suppress the amplitude of coherent dynamics at very short times. The according phase separation line shows also a non-monotonous behaviour, very similar to the pseudo-coherent dynamics.

  Existing work has shown that SGDm with a decaying step-size can converge under Markovian temporal correlation. In this work, we show that SGDm under covariate shift with a fixed step-size can be unstable and diverge. We approximate the learning system as a time varying system of ordinary differential equations, and leverage existing theory to characterize the system's divergence/convergence as resonant/nonresonant modes.
