Abstract
We show that the out-of-time-order correlation (OTOC) in many-body localized (MBL) and marginal MBL systems can be efficiently calculated by the spectrum bifurcation renormalization group (SBRG). We find that in marginal MBL systems, the scrambling time follows a stretched exponential scaling with the distance between the operators and : , which demonstrates Sinai diffusion of quantum information and the enhanced scrambling by the quantum criticality in nonchaotic systems.
