• Abstract: We extend the concept of operator charge in the context of an abelian U (1) symmetry and apply this framework to symmetry-preserving matrix product operators (MPOs), enabling the description of operators projected onto specific sectors of the corresponding symmetry. Leveraging this representation, we study the effect of interactions on the scrambling of information in an integrable Heisenberg spin chain, by controlling the number of particles. Our focus lies on out-of-time order correlators (OTOCs) which we project on sectors with a fixed number of particles. This allows us to link the non-interacting system to the fully-interacting one by allowing more and more particle to interact with each other, keeping the interaction parameter fixed. While at short times, the OTOCs are almost not affected by interactions, the spreading of the information front becomes gradually faster and the OTOC saturate at larger values as the number of particle increases. We also study the behavior of finite-size systems by considering the OTOCs at times beyond the point where the front hits the boundary of the system. We find that in every sector with more than one particle, the OTOCs behave as if the local operator was rotated by a random unitary matrix, indicating that the presence of boundaries contributes to the maximal scrambling of local operators.

• Slow relaxation of out-of-time-ordered correlators in interacting integrable and nonintegrable spin-1/2 XYZ chains [0.0]
  Out-of-time ordered correlators (OTOCs) help characterize the scrambling of quantum information. We compare the relaxation dynamics of OTOCs in interacting integrable and nonintegrable spin-1/2 XYZ chains in regimes without a classical counterpart. We show that the relaxation of the OTOCs is slow (fast) when there is (there is not) an overlap, independently of whether the chain is integrable or nonintegrable.

• Relevant OTOC operators: footprints of the classical dynamics [68.8204255655161]
  The OTOC-RE theorem relates the OTOCs summed over a complete base of operators to the second Renyi entropy. We show that the sum over a small set of relevant operators, is enough in order to obtain a very good approximation for the entropy. In turn, this provides with an alternative natural indicator of complexity, i.e. the scaling of the number of relevant operators with time.
