Free mutual information and higher-point OTOCs
Jinzhao Wang, Stanford University,

I'll introduce a new information-theoretic measure of quantum scrambling, called free mutual information, that characterizes the operator spreading in the operator space. I'll derive a concise formula of it as a sum of squared OTOCs.

Based on work with Shreya Vardhan: https://arxiv.org/abs/2509.13406
