Slow scrambling in disordered quantum systems

In this work we study the effect of static disorder on the growth of commutators-a probe of information scrambling in quantum many-body systems-in a variety of contexts. We find generically that disorder slows the onset of scrambling and, in the case of a many-body localized (MBL) state, partially h...
