Universal relation for operator complexity

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study Krylov complexity CKC_K and operator entropy SKS_K in operator growth. We find that for a variety of systems, including chaotic ones and integrable theories, the two quantities always enjoy a logarithmic relation SK∼log⁡CKS_K\sim \log{C_K} at long times, where dissipative behavior emerges in unitary evolution. Otherwise, the relation does not hold any longer. Universality of the relation is deeply connected to irreversibility of operator growth.
