Abstract

Krylov complexity is considered to provide a measure of the growth of operators evolving under Hamiltonian dynamics. The main strategy is the analysis of the structure of Krylov subspace KM(H,η)\mathcal{K}_M(\mathcal{H},\eta) spanned by the multiple applications of the Liouville operator L\mathcal{L} defined by the commutator in terms of a Hamiltonian H\mathcal{H}, L:=[H,]\mathcal{L}:=[\mathcal{H},\cdot] acting on an operator η\eta, KM(H,η)=span{η,Lη,,LM1η}\mathcal{K}_M(\mathcal{H},\eta)=\text{span}\{\eta,\mathcal{L}\eta,\ldots,\mathcal{L}^{M-1}\eta\}. For a given inner product (,)(\cdot,\cdot) of the operators, the orthonormal basis {On}\{\mathcal{O}_n\} is constructed from O0=η/(η,η)\mathcal{O}_0=\eta/\sqrt{(\eta,\eta)} by Lanczos algorithm. The moments μm=(O0,LmO0)\mu_m=(\mathcal{O}_0,\mathcal{L}^m\mathcal{O}_0) are closely related to the important data {bn}\{b_n\} called Lanczos coefficients. I present the exact and explicit expressions of the moments {μm}\{\mu_m\} for 16 quantum mechanical systems which are {\em exactly solvable both in the Schr\"odinger and Heisenberg pictures}. The operator η\eta is the variable of the eigenpolynomials. Among them six systems show a clear sign of `non-complexity' as vanishing higher Lanczos coefficients bm=0b_m=0, m3m\ge3.
