Many-body chaos at weak coupling

Abstract

The strength of chaos in large N quantum systems can be quantified using λL, the rate of growth of certain out-of-time-order four point functions. We calculate λL to leading order in a weakly coupled matrix 4 theory by numerically diagonalizing a ladder kernel. The computation reduces to an essentially classical problem.
