# Information scrambling in computationally complex quantum circuits | ||
|
||
Interaction in quantum systems can spread initially localized quantum information | ||
into the many degrees of freedom of the entire system. Understanding this process, | ||
known as **quantum scrambling**, is the key to resolving various conundrums in physics. | ||
|
||
In [arXiv:2101.08870](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.08870), we experimentally investigated | ||
the dynamics of quantum scrambling on a 53-qubit quantum processor. By measuring | ||
the time-dependent evolution and fluctuation of out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs), | ||
signatures of both mechanisms associated with quantum scrambling, *operator spreading* | ||
and *operator entanglement*, were experimentally observed. | ||
|
||
This documentation shows how to build quantum circuits used in this experiment and run | ||
them to reproduce results in this publication. | ||
|
||
## Overview | ||
|
||
* See the [OTOC experiment example](./otoc_example.ipynb) to detect operator spreading and | ||
recreate Figure 1 of the [OTOC paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.08870). |
