abstract

The dynamics of quantum systems unfolds within a subspace of the state space or operator space, known as the Krylov space. This review presents the use of Krylov subspace methods to provide an efficient description of quantum evolution and quantum chaos, with emphasis on nonequilibrium phenomena of many-body systems with a large Hilbert space. It provides a comprehensive update of recent developments, focused on the quantum evolution of operators in the Heisenberg picture as well as pure and mixed states. It further explores the notion of Krylov complexity and associated metrics as tools for quantifying operator growth, their bounds by generalized quantum speed limits, the universal operator growth hypothesis, and its relation to quantum chaos, scrambling, and generalized coherent states. A comparison of several generalizations of the Krylov construction for open quantum systems is presented. A closing discussion addresses the application of Krylov subspace methods in quantum field theory, holography, integrability, quantum control, and quantum computing, as well as current open problems.

Polynomial Initial-State Jumps and Christoffel Transforms in Krylov Complexity

hep-th · 2026-07-06 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Changing the initial state to Q(H)|K0⟩ is exactly a Christoffel reweighting of the spectral measure by |Q|²; Krylov complexity then transfers from the reference problem through finite-band connectors and finite-rank kernel projections, with closed forms in Charlier, Krawtchouk and Chebyshev chains.

Complexity Inequalities for Quantum Subsystems

hep-th · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Defines tripartite complexity and complexity gap for three-subsystem states and reports that the gap has definite sign across holographic CV, Fisher-Rao, and Krylov measures, suggesting it as a building block for complexity inequalities.

Quantum scars from holographic boson stars

hep-th · 2026-05-04 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Mini-boson stars in AdS spacetime are proposed as holographic realizations of quantum scars, exhibiting chaotic spectra with integrable subsectors, anomalously low entanglement, and robust Krylov complexity revivals.

Krylov Subspace Dynamics as Near-Horizon AdS$_2$ Holography

hep-th · 2026-02-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

In the continuum limit the discrete Krylov chain becomes a Klein-Gordon field in AdS2, with Lanczos growth rate α identified as πT, recovering the maximal chaos bound and requiring the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound for consistency.

Universal Time Evolution of Holographic and Quantum Complexity

hep-th · 2025-07-31 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Holographic complexity measures show universal linear growth followed by late-time saturation, proven necessary and sufficient via pole structures in the energy basis using the residue theorem, arising from random matrix statistics.

Controlled Chaos in 4D SCFTs

hep-th · 2026-06-22 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Orbifolds of N=4 SYM produce SCFTs whose dilatation operator in a subsector is realized by a tunable spin chain whose eigenvalue statistics exhibit chaos for specific marginal couplings.

Krylov complexity has it all

hep-th · 2026-05-27 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Krylov complexity's Taylor coefficients recursively determine all Lanczos coefficients, making it a complete descriptor of operator dynamics, with caveats for spread complexity.

Complexity and Operator Growth in Holographic 6d SCFTs

hep-th · 2026-03-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In holographic 6d N=(1,0) SCFTs, generalized proper momentum of infalling particles grows linearly at late times, with early dynamics modified by SU(2)_R charge and quiver spreading.

Large Nc Truncations for SU(Nc) Lattice Yang-Mills Theory with Fermions

hep-lat · 2026-02-02 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A multi-part truncation for lattice QCD with fermions enables explicit Hamiltonians in 1+1D and 2+1D and string-breaking simulations by capping basis states, electric energy, fermions per site, and using large-Nc matrix element scaling.

Toward Krylov-based holography in double-scaled SYK

hep-th · 2025-10-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Establishes a threefold duality linking Krylov complexity growth rate to wormhole velocity and proper momentum in DSSYK holography, with higher moments capturing replica wormholes and Krylov entropy equaling parent-geometry von Neumann entropy after tracing baby universes.

On the Universality of Probe Complexity in $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM

hep-th · 2026-06-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Protected and few-body sectors in N=4 SYM exhibit integrable Krylov dynamics with a_n=2Mg and b_n→Mg, insufficient for testing gravitational universality of complexity growth; a finite-density program is proposed to test dependence only on coarse thermodynamic data.

Krylov Complexity in Periodically Driven CFTs and Critical Fermions

hep-th · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Arnoldi coefficients approach unity exponentially in heating phases of driven CFTs but oscillate in non-heating phases; lattice realizations show distinct spectral and graph signatures despite similar CFT Krylov growth.
