We introduce and review a new complexity measure, called `Krylov complexity', which takes its origins in the field of quantum-chaotic dynamics, serving as a canonical measure of operator growth and spreading. Krylov complexity, underpinned…

We study the phase-space concentration of the so-called generalized metaplectic operators whose main examples are Schr\"odinger equations with bounded perturbations. To reach this goal, we perform a so-called $\mathcal{A}$-Wigner analysis…

Propagation of the Wigner function is studied on two levels of semiclassical propagation, one based on the van-Vleck propagator, the other on phase-space path integration. Leading quantum corrections to the classical Liouville propagator…
