Spectral Topology and Universal Krylov Dynamics

Jeff Murugan, Hendrik J. R. Van Zyl, Masataka Watanabe

The leading asymptotic growth of Lanczos coefficients is controlled by spectral tails and furnishes a coarse classification of Krylov dynamics. We show that the \textit{global topo…

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…

Stochastic Krylov Dynamics: Revisiting Operator Growth in Open Quantum Systems

Arpan Bhattacharyya, S. Shajidul Haque, Jeff Murugan +2

In closed quantum systems, Krylov complexity admits a geometric description; operator growth is equivalent to Hamiltonian flow in an emergent phase space whose structure is fixed b…

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…
