Strelcyn, Meccanica 15, 9 (1980). 37 If D¯ 0 has no projection on d¯max(0), the growth of |D¯ (t)| is controlled by the second largest Lyapunov exponent, which is very close to λmax. In general, Lyapunov growth emerging over time interval ∆t includes significant contributions from Lyapunov exponents λ in the range λmax − 1/∆t ≤ λ ≤ λmax. This fact does not change the conclusions of our analysis. 38 See the supplementary material. 39 C. Bartsch and J. Gemmer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 110403 (2009). 40 T. A. Elsayed and B. V. Fine, Phys.

Kohlrautz,https://t.ly/JXke5MSA Google ScholarWe show that macroscopic nonintegrable lattices of spins 1/2, which are often considered to be chaotic, do not exhibit the basic property of classical chaotic systems, namely, exponential sensitivity to small perturbations. We compare chaotic lattices of classical spins and nonintegrable lattices of spins 1/2 in terms of their magnetization responses to imperfect reversal of spin dynamics known as Loschmidt echo. In the classical case, magnetization exhibits exponential sensitivity to small perturbations of Loschmidt echoes, which is characterized by twice the value of the largest Lyapunov exponent of the system. In the case of spins 1/2, magnetization is only power-law sensitive to small perturbations. Our findings imply that it is impossible to define Lyapunov exponents for lattices of spins 1/2 even in the macroscopic limit. At the same time, the above absence of exponential sensitivity to small perturbations is an encouraging news for the efforts to create quantum simulators. The power-law sensitivity of spin 1/2 lattices to small perturbations is predicted to be measurable in nuclear magnetic resonance experiments.enUniversity of Exponential sensitivityArticle
