Quantum chaotic systems are conjectured to display a spectrum whose fine-grained features (gaps and correlations) are well described by Random Matrix Theory (RMT). We propose and develop a complementary version of this conjecture: quantum chaotic systems display a Lanczos spectrum whose local means and covariances are well described by RMT. To support this proposal, we first demonstrate its validity in examples of chaotic and integrable systems. We then show that for Haar-random initial states in RMTs the mean and covariance of the Lanczos spectrum suffices to produce the full long time behavior of general survival probabilities including the spectral form factor, as well as the spread complexity. In addition, for initial states with continuous overlap with energy eigenstates, we analytically find the long time averages of the probabilities of Krylov basis elements in terms of the mean Lanczos spectrum. This analysis suggests a notion of eigenstate complexity, the statistics of which differentiate integrable systems and classes of quantum chaos. Finally, we clarify the relation between spread complexity and the universality classes of RMT by exploring various values of the Dyson index and Poisson distributed spectra.

  1. Krylov Complexity from Loschmidt Amplitude

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Krylov complexity is the ϕ-derivative of a Loschmidt amplitude and is upper-bounded by the volume of the induced (t,ϕ) Fubini-Study geometry.

  2. Complexity measures in holographic cascading theories with multiscale dynamics

    hep-th 2026-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    In holographic B8 gauge theories, complexity growth flattens near a walking conformal regime, while Krylov oscillation periods track the infrared scale and persist in screened, non-confining phases.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Normalized Krylov-Wigner negativity rate matches Krylov variance growth and equals tidal stretch rate R ∝ C P_ρ if and only if Δ=1 in AdS3.

  4. (A)Symmetric Complexity and the Quantum Mpemba Effect

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new decomposition of Krylov complexity into projected symmetric and asymmetric parts diagnoses the quantum Mpemba effect, but its claimed t=0 predictor is computationally equivalent to time evolution.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the PXP model, the arch in the Lanczos coefficients is traced to a linear sl(3) part of the Hamiltonian, and the arch width is proposed as a signal distinguishing scarred from thermalizing states.

  6. Krylov Complexity in Mixed Phase Space

    The Krylov complexity peak height correlates with the Brody parameter in mixed-phase-space quantum systems, diminishing as the spectrum becomes Poissonian.

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For finite-N DSSYK, the chord basis is the early part of the physical Krylov basis, and spread complexity, taken as the non-perturbative ER bridge size, saturates after a universality-class-dependent peak and slope.

    quant-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Metropolis-modified k-local SYK Hamiltonian keeps its chaotic early-time dynamics but changes its level statistics away from random-matrix universality at finite N.

    Under chaos, the normalized Wigner negativity χ(t) carries information about the fine return dynamics that spread complexity C(t) cannot, with the asymmetry gap rising from +0.33 to +0.77 across the integrable-to-GUE ...

    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.

    A family of SU(2) and SU(3) Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick-type Hamiltonians reproduces de Sitter quasinormal-mode densities of states, and late-time probes reveal integrability beneath saddle-dominated scrambling.

    quant-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Time-averaged quantum Fisher information in Krylov space changes slope at the PT transition (gamma=1) and saturates near the entanglement transition (gamma=2) in the monitored SSH model, suggesting it as a probe of both.
