  text: "We consider the time evolution of the out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC)
    of two general observables \r\n and \r\n in a mean field chaotic quantum system
    described by a random Wigner matrix as its Hamiltonian. We rigorously identify
    three time regimes separated by the physically relevant scrambling and relaxation
    times. The main feature of our analysis is that we express the error terms in
    the optimal Schatten (tracial) norms of the observables, allowing us to track
    the exact dependence of the errors on their rank. In particular, for significantly
    overlapping observables with low rank the OTOC is shown to exhibit a significant
    local maximum at the scrambling time, a feature that may not have been noticed
    in the physics literature before. Our main tool is a novel multi-resolvent local
    law with Schatten norms that unifies and improves previous local laws involving
    either the much cruder operator norm (cf. [10]) or the Hilbert-Schmidt norm (cf.
    [11])."
