We compute the Krylov Complexity of a light operator $\mathcal{O}_L$ in an eigenstate of a $2d$ CFT at large central charge $c$. The eigenstate corresponds to a primary operator $\mathcal{O}_H$ under the state-operator correspondence. We…

We investigate feasible holography with the Kitaev model using dilatonic gravity in AdS$_2$. We propose a generic dual theory of gravity in the AdS$_2$ and suggest that this bulk action is a suitable toy model in studying quantum mechanics…

We analyse a simple example of a holographically dual pair in which we topologically twist both theories. The holography is based on the two-dimensional N=2 supersymmetric Liouville conformal field theory that defines a unitary bulk quantum…

We study the holographic spread/Krylov complexity of operators with non-trivial internal structure and of genuinely extended operators. We first consider a massive particle in AdS$_5\times S^5$ carrying conserved $R$-charge, and show how…

Krylov complexity has emerged as a new probe of operator growth in a wide range of non-equilibrium quantum dynamics. However, a fundamental issue remains in such studies: the definition of the distance between basis states in Krylov space…
