• Abstract: We study operator dynamics in many-body quantum systems, focusing on generic features of systems which are ergodic, spatially extended, and lack conserved densities, as exemplified by spin chains with Floquet time evolution. To characterise dynamics we examine, in solvable models and numerically, the behaviour of operator autocorrelation functions, as a function of time and the size of the operator support. The standard expectation is that operator autocorrelation functions in such systems are maximum at time zero and decay, over a few Floquet periods, to a fluctuating value that reduces to zero under an average over an ensemble of statistically similar systems. Our central result is that ensemble-averaged correlation functions also display a second generic feature, which consists of a peak at a later time. In individual many-body systems, this peak can also be revealed by averaging autocorrelation functions over complete sets of operators supported within a finite spatial region, thereby generating a partial spectral form factor. The duration of the peak grows indefinitely with the size of the operator support, and its amplitude shrinks, but both are essentially independent of system size provided this is sufficiently large to contain the operator. In finite systems, the averaged correlation functions also show a further feature at still later times, which is a counterpart to the so-called ramp and plateau of the spectral form factor; its amplitude in the autocorrelation function decreases to zero with increasing system size. Both the later-time peak and the ramp-and-plateau feature are specific to models with time-translation symmetry, such as Floquet systems or models with a time-independent Hamiltonian, and are absent in models with an evolution operator that is a random function of time, such as the extensively-studied random unitary circuits.

• Capturing long-range memory structures with tree-geometry process tensors [0.0]
  We introduce a class of quantum non-Markovian processes that exhibit decaying temporal correlations and memory distributed across time scales. We show that the long-range correlations in this class of processes tends to originate almost entirely from memory effects. We show how it can efficiently approximate the strong memory dynamics of the paradigm spin-boson model.

  We provide bounds on temporal fluctuations around the infinite-time average of out-of-time-ordered and time-ordered correlators of many-body quantum systems without energy gap degeneracies. For physical initial states, our bounds predict the exponential decay of the temporal fluctuations as a function of the system size.

  Scrambling is a key concept in the analysis of nonequilibrium properties of quantum many-body systems. We study the structure of the expansion coefficients treated as a coarse-grained probability distribution in the space of operators. We show that the long-time properties of the operator distribution display common features across these cases.
