Operator Spreading and the Emergence of Dissipative Hydrodynamics under Unitary Evolution with Conservation Laws
We study the scrambling of local quantum information in chaotic many-body systems in the presence of a locally conserved quantity like charge or energy that moves diffusively. The interplay between conservation laws and scrambling sheds light on the mechanism by which unitary quantum dynamics, which...
