Out-of-time-order correlations and quantum chaos.

Quantum Chaos has originally emerged as the field which studies how the properties of classical chaotic systems arise in their quantum counterparts. The growing interest in quantum many-body systems, with no obvious classical meaning has led to consider time-dependent quantities that can help to characterize and redefine Quantum Chaos. This article reviews the prominent role that the out of time ordered correlator (OTOC) plays to achieve such goal.
