Capacity of Entanglement in Local Operators
We study the time evolution of the excess value of capacity of entanglement
between a locally excited state and ground state in free, massless fermionic
theory and free Yang-Mills theory in four spacetime dimensions. Capacity has
non-trivial time evolution and is sensitive to the partial entanglement
structure, and shows a universal peak at early times. We define a quantity, the
normalized "Page time", which measures the timescale when capacity reaches its
peak. This quantity turns out to be a characteristic property of the inserted
operator. This firmly establishes capacity as a valuable measure of
entanglement structure of an operator, especially at early times similar in
spirit to the Renyi entropies at late times. Interestingly, the time evolution
of capacity closely resembles its evolution in microcanonical and canonical
ensemble of the replica wormhole model in the context of the black hole
information paradox.Comment: 26 Pages, 9 figures, Minor changes, references added, accepted for

Krylov complexity in large- and double-scaled SYK model
Considering the large- expansion of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model in
the two-stage limit, we compute the Lanczos coefficients, Krylov complexity,
and the higher Krylov cumulants in subleading order, along with the
effects. The Krylov complexity naturally describes the "size" of the
distribution, while the higher cumulants encode richer information. We further
consider the double-scaled limit of SYK at infinite temperature, where . In such a limit, we find that the scrambling time shrinks to
zero, and the Lanczos coefficients diverge. The growth of Krylov complexity
appears to be "hyperfast", which is previously conjectured to be associated
with scrambling in de Sitter space.Comment: v4: minor changes, published version in JHE
An operator growth hypothesis for open quantum systems
Extending the formalism of Phys. Rev. X 9, 041017, we aim to provide an
operator growth hypothesis in certain open quantum systems. Our results are
based on the study of the dissipative -body Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK)
model, governed by the Markovian dynamics. We introduce a notion of ''operator
size concentration'' which allows a diagrammatic and combinatorial proof of the
asymptotic linear behavior of the two sets of Lanczos coefficients ( and
) in the large limit. Our results corroborate with the semi-analytics
in finite in the large limit, and the numerical Arnoldi iteration in
finite and finite limit. As a result, Krylov complexity exhibits
exponential growth following a saturation at a time that grows logarithmically
with the inverse dissipation strength. The growth of complexity is suppressed
compared to the closed system results, yet it upper bounds the growth of the
normalized out-of-time-ordered correlator (OTOC). We conjecture this to be
generic for any dissipative (open) quantum systems and may generalize the chaos
bound in such cases. We also provide a plausible explanation of the results
from the dual gravitational side.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figure
Q-curvature and path integral complexity
We discuss the interpretation of path integral optimization as a uniformization problem in even dimensions. This perspective allows for a systematical construction of the higher-dimensional path integral complexity in holographic conformal field theories in terms of Q-curvature actions. We explore the properties and consequences of these actions from the perspective of the optimization programme, tensor networks and penalty factors. Moreover, in the context of recently proposed holographic path integral optimization, we consider higher curvature contributions on the Hartle-Hawking bulk slice and study their impact on the optimization as well as their relation to Q-curvature actions and finite cut-off holography
Balanced partial entanglement and mixed state correlations
Recently in Ref. [1], one of the authors introduced the balanced partial entanglement (BPE), which has been proposed to be dual to the entanglement wedge cross-section (EWCS). In this paper, we explicitly demonstrate that the BPE could be considered as a proper measure of the total intrinsic correlation between two subsystems in a mixed state. The total correlation includes certain crossing correlations, which are minimized by particular balance conditions. By constructing a class of purifications from Euclidean path-integrals, we find that the balanced crossing correlations show universality and can be considered as the generalization of the Markov gap for the canonical purification. We also test the relation between the BPE and the EWCS in three-dimensional asymptotically flat holography. We find that the balanced crossing correlation vanishes for the field theory invariant under BMS3 symmetry (BMSFT) and dual to the Einstein gravity, indicating the possibility of a perfect Markov recovery. We further elucidate these crossing correlations as a signature of tripartite entanglement and explain their interpretation in both AdS and non-AdS holography
Operator dynamics in Lindbladian SYK: a Krylov complexity perspective
Abstract We use Krylov complexity to study operator growth in the q-body dissipative Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, where the dissipation is modeled by linear and random p-body Lindblad operators. In the large q limit, we analytically establish the linear growth of two sets of coefficients for any generic jump operators. We numerically verify this by implementing the bi-Lanczos algorithm, which transforms the Lindbladian into a pure tridiagonal form. We find that the Krylov complexity saturates inversely with the dissipation strength, while the dissipative timescale grows logarithmically. This is akin to the behavior of other -complexity measures, namely out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) and operator size, which we also demonstrate. We connect these observations to continuous quantum measurement processes. We further investigate the pole structure of a generic auto-correlation and the high-frequency behavior of the spectral function in the presence of dissipation, thereby revealing a general principle for operator growth in dissipative quantum chaotic systems
Balanced Partial Entanglement and Mixed State Correlations
Recently in Ref.\cite{Wen:2021qgx}, one of the authors introduced the
balanced partial entanglement (BPE), which has been proposed to be dual to the
entanglement wedge cross-section (EWCS). In this paper, we explicitly
demonstrate that the BPE could be considered as a proper measure of the total
intrinsic correlation between two subsystems in a mixed state. The total
correlation includes certain crossing correlations which are minimized on some
balance conditions. By constructing a class of purifications from Euclidean
path-integrals, we find that the balanced crossing correlations show
universality and can be considered as the generalization of the Markov gap for
canonical purification. We also test the relation between the BPE and the EWCS
in three-dimensional asymptotically flat holography. We find that the balanced
crossing correlation vanishes for the field theory invariant under BMS
symmetry (BMSFT) and dual to the Einstein gravity, indicating the possibility
of a perfect Markov recovery. We further elucidate these crossing correlations
as a signature of tripartite entanglement and explain their interpretation in
both AdS and non-AdS holography.Comment: 37 pages, 9 figure
Operator growth and Krylov construction in dissipative open quantum systems
Abstract Inspired by the universal operator growth hypothesis, we extend the formalism of Krylov construction in dissipative open quantum systems connected to a Markovian bath. Our construction is based upon the modification of the Liouvillian superoperator by the appropriate Lindbladian, thereby following the vectorized Lanczos algorithm and the Arnoldi iteration. This is well justified due to the incorporation of non-Hermitian effects due to the environment. We study the growth of Lanczos coefficients in the transverse field Ising model (integrable and chaotic limits) for boundary amplitude damping and bulk dephasing. Although the direct implementation of the Lanczos algorithm fails to give physically meaningful results, the Arnoldi iteration retains the generic nature of the integrability and chaos as well as the signature of non-Hermiticity through separate sets of coefficients (Arnoldi coefficients) even after including the dissipative environment. Our results suggest that the Arnoldi iteration is meaningful and more appropriate in dealing with open systems
