• Abstract: Krylov complexity, a quantum complexity measure which uniquely characterizes the spread of a quantum state or an operator, has recently been studied in the context of quantum chaos. However, the definitiveness of this measure as a chaos quantifier is in question in light of its strong dependence on the initial condition. This article clarifies the connection between the Krylov complexity dynamics and the initial operator or state. We find that the Krylov complexity depends monotonically on the inverse participation ratio (IPR) of the initial condition in the eigenbasis of the Hamiltonian. We explain the reversal of the complexity saturation levels observed in \href{https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.107.024217}{ Phys.Rev.E.107,024217, 2023} using the initial spread of the operator in the Hamiltonian eigenbasis. IPR dependence is present even in the fully chaotic regime, where popular quantifiers of chaos, such as out-of-time-ordered correlators and entanglement generation, show similar behavior regardless of the initial condition. Krylov complexity averaged over many initial conditions still does not characterize chaos.

  We show that for a strong atom-field coupling, when the duration of the $pi $pulse is below $100omega -1$, the behaviour of the atomic excitation probability deviates significantly from the textbook. In the rest of this work we study numerically the backreaction of the qubit on the cavity field and the resulting atom-field entanglement.

  We study the notion of complexity under time evolution in chaotic quantum systems with holographic duals. We find that Krylov complexity is given by the expectation value of a length operator acting on the Hilbert space of the theory. We conclude that evolution on the Krylov chain can equivalently be understood as a particle moving in a Morse potential.

  We explore the Krylov complexity in quantum states following a quench in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. Our results reveal that the long-term averaged Krylov complexity acts as an order parameter for this model. A matching dynamic behavior is observed in both bases when the initial state possesses a specific symmetry.

• 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.
