Operator growth and Krylov Complexity in Bose-Hubbard Model

We study Krylov complexity of a one-dimensional Bosonic system, the celebrated Bose-Hubbard Model. The Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian consists of interacting bosons on a lattice, describing ultra-cold atoms. Apart from showing superfluid-Mott insulator phase transition, the model also exhibits both chaotic and integrable (mixed) dynamics depending on the value of the interaction parameter. We focus on the three-site Bose Hubbard Model (with different particle numbers), which is known to be highly mixed. We use the Lanczos algorithm to find the Lanczos coefficients and the Krylov basis. The orthonormal Krylov basis captures the operator growth for a system with a given Hamiltonian. However, the Lanczos algorithm needs to be modified for our case due to the instabilities instilled by the piling up of computational errors. Next, we compute the Krylov complexity and its early and late-time behaviour. Our results capture the chaotic and integrable nature of the system. Our paper takes the first step to use the Lanczos algorithm non-perturbatively for a discrete quartic bosonic Hamiltonian without depending on the auto-correlation method.

Krylov Complexity and Spectral Form Factor for Noisy Random Matrix Models

We study the spectral properties of two classes of random matrix models: non-Gaussian RMT with quartic and sextic potentials, and RMT with Gaussian noise. We compute and analyze the quantum Krylov complexity and the spectral form factor for both of these models. We find that both models show suppression of the spectral form factor at short times due to decoherence effects, but they differ in their long-time behavior. In particular, we show that the Krylov complexity for the non-Gaussian RMT and RMT with noise deviates from that of a Gaussian RMT. We discuss the implications and limitations of our results for quantum chaos and quantum information in open quantum systems. Our study reveals the distinct sensitivities of the spectral form factor and complexity to non-Gaussianity and noise, which contribute to the observed differences in the different time domains.

CFT reconstruction of local bulk operators in half-Minkowski space

We construct a holographic map that reconstructs massless fields (scalars, Maxwell field \& Fierz-Pauli field) in half-Minkowski spacetime in $d+1$ dimensions terms of smeared primary operators in a large $N$ factorizable CFT in $\mathbb{R}^{d-1,1}$ spacetime dimensions. This map is based on a Weyl (rescaling) transformation from the Poincaré wedge of AdS to the Minkowski half-space; and on the HKLL smearing function, which reconstructs local bulk operators in the Poincaré AdS in terms of smeared operators on the conformal boundary of the Poincaré wedge. The massless scalar field is reconstructed up to the level of two-point functions, while the Maxwell field and massless spin-2 fields are reconstructed at the level of the one-point function. We also discuss potential ways the map can be generalized to higher dimensions, and to the full Minkowski space.

Circuit Complexity for Carrollian Conformal (BMS) Field Theories

We systematically explore the construction of Nielsen's circuit complexity to a non-Lorentzian field theory keeping in mind its connection with flat holography. We consider a 2d boundary field theory dual to 3d asymptotically flat spacetimes with infinite-dimensional BMS_3 as the asymptotic symmetry algebra. We compute the circuit complexity functional in two distinct ways. For the Virasoro group, the complexity functional resembles the geometric action on its co-adjoint orbit. Using the limiting approach on the relativistic results, we show that it is possible to write BMS complexity in terms of the geometric action on BMS co-adjoint orbit. However, the limiting approach fails to capture essential information about the conserved currents generating BMS supertranslations. Hence, we refine our analysis using the intrinsic approach. Here, we use only the symmetry transformations and group product laws of BMS to write the complexity functional. The refined analysis shows a richer structure than only the geometric action. Lastly, we extremize and solve the equations of motion (for a simple solution) in terms of the group paths and connect our results with available literature.

Holographic complexity of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity from Karch-Randall braneworld

Recently, it has been argued in [1] that Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity can be naturally realized in the Karch-Randall braneworld in $(2+1)$ dimensions. Using the `complexity=volume' proposal, we studied this model and computed the holographic complexity of the JT gravity from the bulk perspective. We find that the complexity grows linearly with boundary time at late times, and the leading order contribution is proportional to the $φ_0$, similar to the answer found in [2]. However, in addition, we find subleading corrections to the complexity solely arising from the fluctuations of these Karch-Randall branes.

Probing astrophysical environment with eccentric extreme mass-ratio inspirals

The discovery of gravitational waves and black holes has started a new era of gravitational wave astronomy that allows us to probe the underpinning features of gravity and astrophysics in extreme environments of the universe. In this article, we investigate one such study with an extreme mass-ratio inspiral system where the primary object is a spherically symmetric static black hole immersed in a dark matter halo governed by the Hernquist density distribution. We consider the eccentric equatorial orbital motion of the steller-mass object orbiting around the primary and compute measurable effects. We examine the behaviour of dark matter mass and halo radius in generated gravitational wave fluxes and the evolution of eccentric orbital parameters -- eccentricity and semi-latus rectum. We further provide an estimate of gravitational wave dephasing and find the seminal role of low-frequency detectors in the observational prospects of such an astrophysical environment.

Analytical study of gravitational lensing in Kerr-Newman black-bounce spacetime

We investigate the equatorial deflection angle of light rays propagating in Kerr-Newman black-bounce spacetime. Furthermore, we analyze the light ray trajectories and derive a closed-form formula for deflection angle in terms of elliptic integrals. The deflection angle increases with the decrease of charge and regularisation parameter for a particular impact parameter. We also study the strong field limit of the deflection angle. Using this strong deflection angle formula and lens equation, we find the radius of the first Einstein ring and study its dependence on the charge and the regularisation parameter. We demonstrate that the charge has a robust effect on the size of the Einstein rings, but the effect of the regularization parameter on the ring size is negligible. We also investigate the non-equatorial lensing and the caustic structures for small polar inclination, and the same observations appear to hold. These results directly affect the observational appearance of the Kerr-Newman black-bounce.

A review on analytical studies in Gravitational Lensing

In this study, we review some current studies on Gravitational Lensing for black holes, mainly in the context of general relativity. We mainly focus on the analytical studies related to lensing with references to observational results. We start with reviewing lensing in spherically symmetric Schwarzschild spacetime, showing how to calculate deflection angles before moving to the rotating counterpart, the Kerr metric. Furthermore, we extend our studies for a particular class of newly proposed solutions called black-bounce spacetimes and discuss throughout the review how to explore lensing in these spacetimes and how the various parameters can be constrained using available astrophysical and cosmological data.

Quantum state complexity meets many-body scars

Scar eigenstates in a many-body system refers to a small subset of non-thermal finite energy density eigenstates embedded into an otherwise thermal spectrum. This novel non-thermal behaviour has been seen in recent experiments simulating a one-dimensional PXP model with a kinetically-constrained local Hilbert space realized by a chain of Rydberg atoms. We probe these small sets of special eigenstates starting from particular initial states by computing the spread complexity associated to time evolution of the PXP hamiltonian. Since the scar subspace in this model is embedded only loosely, the scar states form a weakly broken representation of the Lie Algebra. We demonstrate why a careful usage of the Forward Scattering Approximation (or similar strategies thereof) is required to extract an appropriate set of Lanczos coefficients in this case as the consequence of this approximate symmetry. This leads to a well defined notion of a closed Krylov subspace and consequently, that of spread complexity. We show how the spread complexity shows approximate revivals starting from both $|\mathbb{Z}_2\rangle$ and $|\mathbb{Z}_3\rangle$ states and how these revivals can be made more accurate by adding optimal perturbations to the bare Hamiltonian. We also investigate the case of the vacuum as the initial state, where revivals can be stabilized using an iterative process of adding few-body terms.

Disorder driven cluster glass state in a geometrically frustrated hexagonal perovskite

We report the observation of cluster glass-like properties in a double perovskite ruthenate Ba$_2$CoRuO$_6$ through structural (neutron and synchrotron X-ray diffraction), magnetic and transport measurements. The system exhibits classic glassy characteristics like a frequency dependence in ac Susceptibility, aging and memory effects along with persistance of short-range correlations upto room temperature. The significant ($\sim30\%$) anti-site disorder on the dimer sites, coupled with the inherent geometrical frustration, allows a variety of exchange (both antiferro- and ferromagnetic) interactions to be distributed randomly across the lattice. On cooling, locally dominant interactions cause spins to nucleate and form local, short-range ordered clusters which grow in size until a global freezing occurs at about $T_f \sim 43K$.

Complexity of warped conformal field theory

Warped conformal field theories in two dimensions are exotic nonlocal, Lorentz violating field theories characterized by Virasoro-Kac-Moody symmetries and have attracted a lot of attention as candidate boundary duals to warped AdS$_3$ spacetimes, thereby expanding the scope of holography beyond asymptotically AdS spacetimes. Here we investigate WCFT$_2$\,s using \emph{circuit complexity} as a tool. First we compute the holographic volume complexity (CV) which displays a linear UV divergence structure, more akin to that of a local CFT$_2$ and has a very complicated dependence on the Virasoro central charge $c$ and the $U(1)$ Kac-Moody level parameter $k$. Next we consider circuit complexity based on Virasoro-Kac-Moody symmetry gates where the complexity functional is the geometric (group) action on coadjoint orbits of the Virasoro-Kac-Moody group. We consider a special solution to extremization equations for which complexity scales linearly with ``time''. In the semiclassical limit (large $c,k$, while $c/k$ remains finite and small) both the holographic volume complexity and circuit complexity scales linearly with $k$.

Prospects for determining the nature of the secondaries of extreme mass-ratio inspirals using the spin-induced quadrupole deformation

The measurement of multipole moments of astrophysical objects through gravitational wave (GW) observations provides a novel way to distinguish black holes from other astrophysical objects. This paper studies the gravitational wave radiation from an extreme mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) system consisting of a supermassive Kerr black hole (the primary object) and a spinning stellar-mass compact object (the secondary object). The quadrupolar deformation induced by the spin of the secondary is different for different astrophysical objects. We compute the effect of the quadrupolar deformation on the GW phase and provide an order of magnitude estimate of whether LISA can distinguish different astrophysical objects through GW phase measurement. We find that although LISA can not distinguish between a black hole and a neutron star, it can distinguish black holes from a large variety of highly spinning astrophysical objects like superspinars and highly deformable exotic compact objects like boson stars for EMRI systems with relatively large mass ratio ($q\sim 10^{-4}$). Furthermore, we show that the effect of spin-induced quadrupolar deformation on the GW phase for white dwarf and brown dwarf-EMRI systems can be quite significant even for small values of mass ratio ($q\lesssim 10^{-6}$).

Bootstrapping the Kronig-Penney Model

Recently, bootstrap methods from conformal field theory have been adapted for studying the energy spectrum of various quantum mechanical systems. In this paper, we consider the application of these methods in obtaining the spectrum from the Schrödinger equation with periodic potentials, paying particular attention to the Kronig-Penney model of a particle in a one-dimensional lattice. With an appropriate choice of operator basis involving position and momenta, we find that the bootstrap approach efficiently computes the band gaps of the energy spectrum but has trouble effectively constraining the minimum energy. We show how applying more complex constraints involving higher powers of momenta can potentially remedy such a problem. We also propose an approach for analytically constructing the dispersion relation associated with the Bloch momentum of the system.

From CFTs to theories with Bondi-Metzner-Sachs symmetries: Complexity and out-of-time-ordered correlators

We probe the contraction from $2d$ relativistic CFTs to theories with Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetries, or equivalently Conformal Carroll symmetries, using diagnostics of quantum chaos. Starting from an Ultrarelativistic limit on a relativistic scalar field theory and following through at the quantum level using an oscillator representation of states, one can show the CFT$_2$ vacuum evolves smoothly into a BMS$_3$ vacuum in the form of a squeezed state. Computing circuit complexity of this transmutation using the covariance matrix approach shows clear divergences when the BMS point is hit or equivalently when the target state becomes a boundary state. We also find similar behaviour of the circuit complexity calculated from methods of information geometry. Furthermore, we discuss the hamiltonian evolution of the system and investigate Out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs) and operator growth complexity, both of which turn out to scale polynomially with time at the BMS point.

Decoherence, Entanglement Negativity and Circuit Complexity for Open Quantum System

In this paper, we compare the saturation time scales for complexity, linear entropy and entanglement negativity for two open quantum systems. Our first model is a coupled harmonic oscillator, where we treat one of the oscillators as the bath. The second one is a type of Caldeira Leggett model, where we consider a one-dimensional free scalar field as the bath. Using these open quantum systems, we discovered that both the complexity of purification and the complexity from operator state mapping is always saturated for a completely mixed state. More explicitly, the saturation time scale for both types of complexity is smaller than the saturation time scale for linear entropy. On top of this, we found that the saturation time scale for linear entropy and entanglement negativity is of the same order for the Caldeira Leggett model.

Pseudo complexity of purification for free scalar field theories

We compute the pseudo complexity of purification corresponding to the reduced transition matrices for free scalar field theories with an arbitrary dynamical exponent. We plot the behaviour of complexity with various parameters of the theory under study and compare it with the complexity of purification of the reduced density matrices of the two states $|ψ_1\rangle$ and $|ψ_2\rangle$ that constitute the transition matrix. We first find the transition matrix by reducing to a small number ($1$ and $2$) of degrees of freedom in lattice from a lattice system with many lattice points and then purify it by doubling the degrees of freedom ($2$ and $4$ respectively) for this reduced system. This is a primary step towards the natural extension to the idea of the complexity of purification for reduced density matrices relevant for the studies related to post-selection.

Study of eccentric binaries in Horndeski theory

We study the orbital evolution of eccentric binary systems in Horndeski gravity. This particular theory provides a testbed to give insightful comparisons with data. We compute the rate of energy loss and the rate of change of angular momentum for the binaries by calculating the multipole moments of the radiation fields. We have used appropriate parameters for the eccentric binaries to compute the decay rates of its orbital eccentricity and semi-major axis. We then compare this decay rate with that of GR.
