The dynamic region of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) is a valuable discriminator of chaos in classical and semiclassical systems, as it captures the characteristic exponential growth. However, in spin systems, it does not reliably quantify chaos, exhibiting similar behavior in both integrable and chaotic systems. Instead, we leverage the saturation behavior of OTOCs as a means to differentiate between chaotic and integrable regimes. We use integrable and nonintegrable quenched field Floquet systems to describe this discriminator. In the integrable system, the saturation region of OTOCs exhibits oscillatory behavior, whereas, in the chaotic system, it shows exact saturation i.e., system gets thermalized. To gain a clearer understanding of the oscillations, we calculate the inverse participation ratio (IPR) for the normalized Fourier spectrum of OTOC. In order to further substantiate our findings, we propose the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution (NNSD) of time-dependent unitary operators. This distribution effectively differentiates chaotic and regular regions, corroborating the outcomes derived from the saturation behavior of OTOC., Comment: 12 Pages and 12 Figures

We study characteristic, dynamic, and saturation regimes of the out-of-time-order correlation (OTOC) in the constant field Floquet system with and without longitudinal field. In the calculation of OTOC, we take local spins in longitudinal and transverse directions as observables which are local and non-local in terms of Jordan-Wigner fermions, respectively. We use the exact analytical solution of OTOC for the integrable model (without longitudinal field term) with transverse direction spins as observables and numerical solutions for other integrable and nonintegrable cases. OTOCs generated in both cases depart from unity at a kick equal to the separation between the observables when the local spins in the transverse direction and one additional kick is required when the local spins in the longitudinal direction. The number of kicks required to depart from unity depends on the separation between the observables and is independent of the Floquet period and system size. In the dynamic region, OTOCs show power-law growth in both models, the integrable (without longitudinal field) as well as the nonintegrable (with longitudinal field). The exponent of the power-law increases with increasing separation between the observables. Near the saturation region, OTOCs grow linearly with a very small rate., Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures

Out-of-time-order correlators (OTOC) in the Ising Floquet system, that can be both integrable and nonintegrable is studied. Instead of localized spin observables, we study contiguous symmetric blocks of spins or random operators localized on these blocks as observables. We find only power-law growth of OTOC in both integrable and nonintegrable regimes. In the non-integrable regime, beyond the scrambling time, there is an exponential saturation of the OTOC to values consistent with random matrix theory. This motivates the use of "pre-scrambled" random block operators as observables. A pure exponential saturation of OTOC in both integrable and nonintegrable system is observed, without a scrambling phase. Averaging over random observables from the Gaussian unitary ensemble, the OTOC is found to be exactly same as the operator entanglement entropy, whose exponential saturation has been observed in previous studies of such spin-chains., Comment: 13 pages, 6 figures

We develop a new protocol for sharing entanglement (one ebit) between two parties using the natural dynamics of helical multiferroic spin chains. We introduce a novel kicking scheme of the electric field for enhancing the teleportation fidelity in our protocol that works in the presence of an appropriate choice of parameters. We also investigate the effect of a common spin environment causing decoherence in the entanglement sharing channel. We compare the results to that of XXZ and XX models subject to a similar entanglement sharing protocol and find that the helical multiferroic chain with the kicking scheme provides a better singlet fraction. We show that the kicking scheme in conjugation with the optimized parameters enhances the fidelity of teleportation even in the presence of impurities and/or decoherence. The advantage of the kicking scheme shown in the impurity cases is an important result to be useful in a realizable setup of helical multiferroic spin chain., Comment: Accepted for publication in Quantum Information Processing

We study the out-of-time-order correlation (OTOC) of the Floquet transverse Ising model and use it to verify the phase diagram of the system. First, we present the exact analytical solution of the transverse magnetization OTOC using the Jorden-Wigner transformation. We calculate the speed of correlation propagation and analyze the behavior of the revival time with the separation between the observables. In order to get the phase structure of the Floquet transverse Ising system, we use the longitudinal magnetization OTOC as it is known to serve as an order parameter of the system. We show the phase structure numerically in the transverse Ising Floquet system by using the long time average of the longitudinal magnetization OTOC. In both the open and the closed chain systems, we find distinct phases out of which two are paramagnetic (0-paramagnetic and $\pi$-paramagnetic), and two are ferromagnetic (0-ferromagnetic and $\pi$-ferromagnetic) as defined in the literature., Comment: 11 Pages, 8 Figures
