Extracting Classical Lyapunov Exponent from One-Dimensional Quantum Mechanics

Abstract: Out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) [x(t), p] 2 in an inverted harmonic oscillator (IHO) in one-dimensional quantum mechanics exhibits remarkable properties. The quantum Lyapunov exponent computed through the OTOC precisely agrees with the classical one. Besides, it does not show any quantum fluctuations for arbitrary states. Hence, the OTOC may be regarded as ideal indicators of the butterfly effect in the IHO. Since IHOs are ubiquitous in physics, these properties of the OTOCs might be seen in various situat… Show more

“…This is the case when the effective motion of the particle is described by an inverse harmonic oscillator, which implies that the divergence of the close trajectories grows exponentially. This behavior is associated with chaos (e.g., see [31,[60][61][62]), and (the square of) the Lyapunov exponent is given by λ 2 . We also note that the effective motion is described by a harmonic oscillator when V eff | r=r 0 > 0, i.e., λ 2 < 0, thus, we do not have chaos.…”

“…• If the inverted harmonic oscillator described by (12) in one-dimensional quantum mechanics, the Lyapunov exponent in both classical and quantum mechanics is λ = √ 2πT [23,45,46]. Therefore, the eigenvalue of Schwarzschild black hole in the thermal potential is proportional to the square of the Lyapunov exponent of the inverse harmonic oscillator [50],…”

“…Motivated by the holographic duality, the physics of quantum circuit complexity from the sides of quantum field theory (QFTs) and quantum mechanics have attracted more and more attentions. For a quantum chaotic system, the elementary physical quantities, like the scrambling time and Lyapunov exponent, can be captured by out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) [19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Some recent works, for instance [23,24], show that the evolution of quantum circuit complexity could provide equivalent information about the classical scrambling time and Lyapunov exponent in analogous to the OTOCs.…”
