- Abstract: We consider unitary quantum scrambling for an entire class of observable algebras $\mathcal A$ whose commutant ${\mathcal A}'=\mathbb{C}\mathbb{Z}_2$ is generated by a Hermitian involution $S$, i.e., a parity operator. We adopt two different, although related, scrambling measures: (a) the algebraic out-of-time-order correlator (A-OTOC) introduced in [Andreadakis, Anand, and Zanardi, Phys. Rev. A 107, 042217 (2023)], and (b) a Slater-determinant-type quantity, dubbed the Plücker fidelity, obtained by embedding operator algebras into a higher-dimensional projective operator space. Both measures admit a simple geometric interpretation in terms of distances between algebras and their dynamical images. Moreover, they can be expressed in terms of the norm of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetry-breaking component of the unitary, which is in turn controlled by the time autocorrelation function of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ generator $S$. We derive exact expressions for the A-OTOC and the Plücker fidelity in the general case, as well as their values for a random unitary. For Hamiltonian-generated channels, we compute their long-time averages, as well as the typical values of these long-time averages for random generators $S$. Finally, we numerically explore the results of our formalism for interacting spin chains in different phases and for different physical parity operators.

quantum scrambling is defined by how the associated physical degrees of freedom get mixed up with others by the dynamics.
This is accomplished by introducing a measure, the geometric algebra anti-correlator (GAAC) of the self-orthogonalization of the commutant of $cal A$ induced by the dynamics.
For generic energy spectrum we find explicit expressions for the infinite-time average of the GAAC which encode the relation between $cal A$ and the full system of Hamiltonian eigenstates.
