• Abstract: Scar states are special many-body eigenstates that weakly violate the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH). Using the explicit formalism of the Lanczos algorithm, usually known as the forward scattering approximation in this context, we compute the Krylov state (spread) complexity of typical states generated by the time evolution of the PXP Hamiltonian, hosting such states. We show that the complexity for the Neel state revives in an approximate sense, while complexity for the generic ETH-obeying state always increases. This can be attributed to the approximate SU(2) structure of the corresponding generators of the Hamiltonian. We quantify such ''closeness'' by the q-deformed SU(2) algebra and provide an analytic expression of Lanczos coefficients for the Neel state within the approximate Krylov subspace. We intuitively explain the results in terms of a tight-binding model. We further consider a deformation of the PXP Hamiltonian and compute the corresponding Lanczos coefficients and the complexity. We find that complexity for the Neel state shows nearly perfect revival while the same does not hold for a generic ETH-obeying state.

  We construct high fidelity approximations of relatively low complexity for pure states of quantum lattice systems. The applicability of the general results is demonstrated on the quantum Ising model in transverse field. We establish an area-law type bound on the entanglement in the model's subcritical ground states, valid in all dimensions and up to the model's quantum phase transition.

• Quantum state complexity meets many-body scars [0.0]
  Scar eigenstates in a many-body system refer to a small subset of non-thermal finite energy density eigenstates embedded into an otherwise thermal spectrum. We probe these small sets of special eigenstates starting from particular initial states by computing the spread complexity associated to time evolution of the PXP hamiltonian.

Phase estimation efficiently prepares states with energy arbitrarily close to the ground energy.

• Growth of entanglement of generic states under dual-unitary dynamics [77.34726150561087]
  Dual-unitary circuits are a class of locally-interacting quantum many-body systems. In particular, they admit a class of solvable" initial states for which, in the thermodynamic limit, one can access the full non-equilibrium dynamics. We show that in this case the entanglement increment during a time step is sub-maximal for finite times, however, it approaches the maximal value in the infinite-time limit.

• Relevant OTOC operators: footprints of the classical dynamics [68.8204255655161]
  The OTOC-RE theorem relates the OTOCs summed over a complete base of operators to the second Renyi entropy. We show that the sum over a small set of relevant operators, is enough in order to obtain a very good approximation for the entropy. In turn, this provides with an alternative natural indicator of complexity, i.e. the scaling of the number of relevant operators with time.
