In this paper, we study the Krylov complexity in quantum field theory and make a connection with the holographic "Complexity equals Volume" conjecture. When Krylov basis matches with Fock basis, for several interesting settings, we observe that the Krylov complexity equals the average particle number showing that complexity scales with volume. Using similar formalism, we compute the Krylov complexity for free scalar field theory and find surprising similarities with holography. We also extend this framework for field theory where an inverted oscillator appears naturally and explore its chaotic behavior.

  1. Controlled Chaos in 4D SCFTs

    hep-th 2026-06 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.

  2. Pseudo entropy and topological phases of matter

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Pseudo entropy distinguishes topological from trivial phases in the SSH model via sign of averaged excess entropy ΔS12 and tracks quench critical times with its imaginary part.

  3. Krylov Complexity in Periodically Driven CFTs and Critical Fermions

    hep-th 2026-05 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.

  4. A Timelike Quantum Focusing Conjecture

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A timelike quantum focusing conjecture implies a complexity-based quantum strong energy condition and a complexity bound analogous to the covariant entropy bound for suitable codimension-0 field theory complexity measures.

  5. Generalized CV Conjecture and Krylov Complexity in Two-Mode Hermitian Systems via Information Geometry

    hep-th 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Krylov complexity equals Fubini-Study volume for closed and open two-mode squeezed states, providing analytic support for the generalized CV conjecture via information geometry.
