Unfolded Krylov complexity: universal chaotic dynamics without false positives

Johanna Erdmenger, Kyoung-Bum Huh, Hyun-Sik Jeong +1

A central challenge in diagnosing quantum chaos is to distinguish genuine many-body scrambling from kinematic effects of the spectrum. Krylov state complexity, or spread complexity…

Quantum Chaos and Spread of States in Krylov Subspace: A Topical Review

Hyun-Sik Jeong, Juan F. Pedraza

Krylov state complexity, or spread complexity, has emerged as a sharp and versatile diagnostic of quantum chaos, information spreading, and many-body dynamics. Built from the Lancz…

Recursion Coefficients and Krylov Dynamics in Polynomial Random Matrix Models

Juan F. Pedraza, Le-Chen Qu

We study the recursion coefficients of orthogonal polynomials and their associated Krylov dynamics in random matrix models with high-degree and possibly asymmetric polynomial poten…

Quantum chaos and late-time equipartition of symmetry-resolved Krylov complexity

Jayashish Das, Suman Das, Juan F. Pedraza +1

We study symmetry-resolved Krylov complexity in finite-dimensional chaotic quantum many-body systems. When both the Hamiltonian and the initial operator commute with a conserved ch…

Explicit Connections Between Krylov and Nielsen Complexity

Ben Craps, Gabriele Pascuzzi, Juan F. Pedraza +2

We establish a direct correspondence between Krylov and Nielsen complexity by choosing the Krylov basis to be part of the elementary gate set of Nielsen geometry and selecting a Ni…

Toward Krylov-based holography in double-scaled SYK

Yichao Fu, Hyun-Sik Jeong, Keun-Young Kim +1

Building on the duality between Krylov complexity and geodesic length in Jackiw-Teitelboim and sine-dilaton gravity, we develop a precise holographic dictionary for quantities in t…

Cosmological pole-skipping, shock waves and quantum chaotic dynamics of de Sitter horizons

Yongjun Ahn, Sašo Grozdanov, Hyun-Sik Jeong +1

We present a systematic analysis of pole-skipping for scalar, Maxwell, and gravitational waves in cosmological spacetimes. Specifically, working in empty de Sitter space and in Sch…

Quantum Chaos Diagnostics for non-Hermitian Systems from Bi-Lanczos Krylov Dynamics

Matteo Baggioli, Kyoung-Bum Huh, Hyun-Sik Jeong +3

In Hermitian systems, Krylov complexity has emerged as a powerful diagnostic of quantum dynamics, capable of distinguishing chaotic from integrable phases, in agreement with establ…

Singular Value Decomposition and Its Blind Spot for Quantum Chaos in Non-Hermitian Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Models

Matteo Baggioli, Kyoung-Bum Huh, Hyun-Sik Jeong +3

The study of chaos and complexity in non-Hermitian quantum systems poses significant challenges due to the emergence of complex eigenvalues in their spectra. Recently, the singular…

Brickwall One-Loop Determinant: Spectral Statistics & Krylov Complexity

Hyun-Sik Jeong, Arnab Kundu, Juan F. Pedraza

We investigate quantum chaotic features of the brickwall model, which is obtained by introducing a stretched horizon - a Dirichlet wall placed outside the event horizon - within th…

Gauge dependence of the AdS instability problem

Fotios V. Dimitrakopoulos, Ben Freivogel, Juan F. Pedraza +1

Previous work on the AdS instability problem within the two-time framework (TTF) has found an "oscillating singularity" whose presence depends on the gauge choice. We give a physic…
