In an isolated system, the time evolution of a given observable in the Heisenberg picture can be efficiently represented in Krylov space. In this representation, an initial operator becomes increasingly complex as time goes by, a feature that can be quantified by the Krylov complexity. We introduce a fundamental and universal limit to the growth of the Krylov complexity by formulating a Robertson uncertainty relation, involving the Krylov complexity operator and the Liouvillian, as generator of time evolution. We further show the conditions for this bound to be saturated and illustrate its validity in paradigmatic models of quantum chaos.

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Reducing a graph walk to distance-layers reproduces Krylov/spread complexity, yielding analytic finite-q SYK Lanczos coefficients and hypercube complexity D sin²(t/D), with faster saturation than classical-walk circuits.

  6. Statistics and Complexity of Wavefunction Spreading in Quantum Dynamical Systems

    quant-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The moments of the spreading-operator measurement distribution are generalized spread complexities, which for GUE Hamiltonians peak more sharply at higher order and obey a norm bound.

  7. Revisit the relationship between spread complexity rate and radial momentum

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper shows that two proposed bulk momentum and boundary spread complexity correspondences are consistent, and that the match extends to any particle mass in AdS3.
