• Abstract: Out-of-Time-Order Correlators (OTOCs) serve as a proxy for quantum information scrambling, which refers to the process where information stored locally disperses across the many-body degrees of freedom in a quantum system, rendering it inaccessible to local probes. Most experimental implementations of OTOCs to probe information scrambling rely on indirect measurements based on global observables, using techniques such as Loschmidt echoes and Multiple Quantum Coherences, via time reversal evolutions. In this article, we establish a direct connection between OTOCs with global and local observables in the context of NMR experiments, where the observable is the total magnetization of the system. We conduct a numerical analysis to quantify the differences in the evolution of both magnitudes, evaluating the excitation dynamics in spin ring systems with 8 to 16 spins, using a many-body Hamiltonian and long-range interactions. Our analysis decomposes the global echo into a sum of local echoes and cross-contributions, leading to local and global OTOCs. The results indicate that, after an initial transient period, local OTOCs determine the global ones. We observe that the difference between the average of local OTOCs and the global one, as well as their fluctuations, becomes negligible as the system size increases. Thus, for large homogeneous systems, global and local OTOCs become equivalent. This behavior aligns with that observed in highly interacting or chaotic systems in several experiments.

  Quantum information scrambling, typically explored in closed quantum systems, describes the spread of initially localized information throughout a system. We explore information scrambling in the presence of dissipation by generalizing the concepts of Loschmidt echo (LE) and out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) to open quantum systems governed by Lindblad dynamics.

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.
