Abstract

Physical Sciences Physics Physics, Multidisciplinary Science & Technology
OTOC has been used to characterize the information scrambling in quantum systems. Recent studies have shown that local conserved quantities play a crucial role in governing the relaxation dynamics of OTOC in non-integrable systems. In particular, the slow scrambling of OTOC is seen for observables that have an overlap with local conserved quantities. However, an observable may not overlap with the Hamiltonian but instead with the Hamiltonian elevated to an exponent larger than one. Here, we show that higher exponents correspond to faster relaxation, although still algebraic, and such exponents can increase indefinitely. Our analytical results are supported by numerical experiments.
