Quantum Bounds on the Generalized Lyapunov Exponents

  • Silvia Pappalardi and
  • Jorge Kurchan

30 January 2023

We discuss the generalized quantum Lyapunov exponents Lq, defined from the growth rate of the powers of the square commutator. They may be related to an appropriately defined thermodynamic limit of the spectrum of the commutator, which plays the role...
