Speck of chaos
Lea F. Santos, Francisco Pérez-Bernal, E. Jonathan Torres-Herrera
Abstract
This work shows that a single defect site brings integrable spin-1/2 and spin-1 models to the chaotic domain. The correlation hole and the off-diagonal elements of observables detect this transition despite the presence of symmetries.
