We use out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs) to study the propagation of information in disordered isolated quantum systems. Specifically we study operator spreading in a 1D random-position XXZ model with power-law interactions as a function of disorder strength using numerically exact techniques. OTOCs, i.e the squared commutators, of a local Pauli operator and time-evolved originally distant Pauli operators are known to show "light cone"-like behaviour. We characterize these emerging "light cone" structures across the localization to delocalization phase transition. Furthermore we present an experimental scheme based on Floquet Hamiltonian Engineering to perform necessary echo protocols in an interacting system of Rydberg atoms and techniques to extract OTOCs experimentally from quadratic order response functions.
