Quantum chaos and out-of-time order correlation functions in graphene — •Markus Klug, Mathias Scheurer, and Jörg Schmalian — Institute for Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, 76131 Karlsruhe, Deutschland

Out-of-time order correlation functions of type C=⟨ A(t)B(0)A(t)B(0) ⟩_β are believed to be a reasonable measure of quantum chaos which manifests in an exponential growth of C with a certain Lyapunov exponent determined by the microscopic model under considerations. Recently, it was conjectured hat this Lyapunov exponent is be bounded by λ ≤ 2π k_B T/ℏ [1].

In this work we investigate the out-of-time order correlation functions in graphene subject to the long range Coulomb interaction. To this end we develop a formalism to capture the relevant effects which determines the dominant time dependence of C. We demonstrate that the critical Dirac fluid graphene is a good candidate for saturating the bound mentioned above.
