Spacetime Duality Beyond Conformality

Jeff Murugan, Horatiu Nastase

We extend the spacetime duality programme of Burgess \textit{et.al.} to massive theories in 1+1 dimensions. For the massive scalar, a heat-kernel computation tracking three contrib…

On the Universality of Probe Complexity in SYM

Eric L. Graef, Jeff Murugan, Horatiu Nastase +1

We investigate Krylov complexity for single-trace operators dual to open strings attached to giant gravitons in planar super Yang-Mills theory. We show that in prot…

A Quantum Computational Perspective on Spread Complexity

Cameron Beetar, Eric L Graef, Jeff Murugan +2

We establish a direct connection between spread complexity and quantum circuit complexity by demonstrating that spread complexity emerges as a limiting case of a circuit complexity…

Krylov complexity from a simple quantum mechanical model for a radiating black hole

Eric L Graef, Jeff Murugan, Horatiu Nastase +1

We investigate Krylov complexity in a simple quantum mechanical model describing a black hole coupled to its radiation. The model is constructed as a simplified ``mini-BMN" matrix…

Krylov complexity, path integrals, and instantons

Cameron Beetar, Eric L Graef, Jeff Murugan +2

Krylov complexity has emerged as an important tool in the description of quantum information and, in particular, quantum chaos. Here we formulate Krylov complexity for quant…

(A)Symmetric Complexity and the Quantum Mpemba Effect

Cameron Beetar, Jeff Murugan, Hendrik J. R. van Zyl

The Quantum Mpemba Effect (QME) -- the counter-intuitive phenomenon where states further from equilibrium can relax faster than those closer to it -- challenges standard expectatio…
