Floquet engineered inhomogeneous quantum chaos in critical systems
Floquet engineered inhomogeneous quantum chaos in critical systems
We study universal chaotic dynamics of a large class of periodically driven critical systems described by spatially inhomogeneous conformal field theories. By employing an effective curved spacetime approach, we show that the onset of quantum chaotic correlations, captured by the Lyapunov exponent of out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs), is set by the …
