abstract

We discuss the probability distribution for the "size" of a time-evolving operator in the SYK model. Scrambling is related to the fact that as time passes, the distribution shifts towards larger operators. Initially, the rate is exponential and determined by the infinite-temperature chaos exponent. We evaluate the size distribution numerically for $N = 30$, and show how to compute it in the large-$N$ theory using the dressed fermion propagator. We then evaluate the distribution explicitly at leading nontrivial order in the large-$q$ expansion.

Probing the Chaos to Integrability Transition in Double-Scaled SYK

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A first-order phase transition in the Berkooz-Brukner-Jia-Mamroud interpolating model causes chord number, Krylov complexity, and operator size to switch discontinuously from chaotic (linear/exponential) to quasi-integrable (quadratic) growth.

Krylov Complexity

hep-th · 2025-07-08 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Krylov complexity is a canonical, parameter-independent measure of operator spreading that probes chaotic dynamics to late times and admits a geometric interpretation in holographic duals.

  • Towards a Refinement of Krylov Complexity: Scrambling, Classical Operator Growth and Replicas hep-th · 2026-03-19 · unverdicted · none · ref 80 · internal anchor

    LogK complexity via replicas distinguishes genuine scrambling from saddle effects in quantum and classical systems and refines the measure for integrable cases.

    Deformations of the double-scaled SYK model via finite-cutoff holography produce Krylov complexity as wormhole length and realize Susskind's stretched horizon proposal through targeted T² deformations in the high-energy spectrum.
