Krylov complexity has recently emerged as a new paradigm to characterize quantum chaos in many-body systems. However, which features of Krylov complexity are prerogative of quantum chaotic systems and how they relate to more standard probes, such as spectral statistics or out-of-time-order correlators (OTOCs), remain open questions. Recent insights have revealed that in quantum chaotic systems Krylov state complexity exhibits a distinct peak during time evolution before settling into a well-understood late-time plateau. In this work, we propose that this Krylov complexity peak (KCP) is a hallmark of quantum chaotic systems and suggest that its height could serve as an `order parameter' for quantum chaos. We demonstrate that the KCP effectively identifies chaotic-integrable transitions in two representative quantum mechanical models at both infinite and finite temperature: the mass-deformed Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model and the sparse Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. Our findings align with established results from spectral statistics and OTOCs, while introducing an operator-independent diagnostic for quantum chaos, offering more `universal' insights and a deeper understanding of the general properties of quantum chaotic systems.

  1. Krylov-Space Memory Cores

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Anomalous initial states in otherwise thermalizing models leave compact, stationary low-depth Krylov-space cores—regions with persistent fluctuations, Gibbs mismatch, and current activity—while generic states do not.

  2. Krylov Complexity, Confinement and Universality

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Holographic calculations show the proper-momentum proxy for Krylov complexity oscillates in every confining geometry with a smooth infrared cap, with frequency set by the confinement scale.

  3. (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.

  4. Complexity of PXP scars revisited

    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.

  5. Generalized Krylov Complexity

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper defines generalized Krylov complexity for multi-generator unitary evolutions, computes it for U(1)xU(1), a U(1)xU(1) subgroup of SO(10), and SU(2), and introduces a weighted version.

  6. Quasinormal modes and complexity in saddle-dominated SU(N) spin systems

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
