Probing out-of-time-order correlators

Abstract We present a method to probe the Out-of-Time-Order Correlators (OTOCs) of a general system by coupling it to a harmonic oscillator probe. When the system’s degrees of freedom are traced out, the OTOCs imprint themselves on the generalized influence functional of the oscillator. This general...
