Free fermion models with an operator entanglement growing as $O(\sqrt{t})$
We study the time evolution of the Operator Space Entanglement Entropy (OSEE) of one-dimensional number-conserving free fermions subject to a random space- and time-dependent evolution. It is known that, in free-fermion systems without randomness, the OSEE of \emph{local} operators grows at most \emph{logarithmically}...
