We demonstrate a precise relation between the rate of complexity of quantum states excited by local operators in two-dimensional conformal field theories and the radial momentum of particles in 3-dimensional Anti-de Sitter spacetimes. Similar relations have been anticipated based on qualitative models for operator growth. Here, we make this correspondence sharp with two key ingredients: the precise definition of quantum complexity given by the spread complexity of states, and the match of its growth rate to the bulk momentum measured in the proper radial distance coordinate.

  1. Comments on holographic spread complexity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The momentum–spread-complexity relation requires generalized coherent states adapted to the spacetime symmetry algebra; semiclassical spreading alone cannot produce a momentum–complexity correspondence.

  2. The Normalised Wigner Negativity Rate as a Second-Moment Probe of Infall in AdS$_3$

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Normalized Krylov-Wigner negativity rate matches Krylov variance growth and equals tidal stretch rate R ∝ C P_ρ if and only if Δ=1 in AdS3.

  3. Krylov complexity has it all

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Krylov complexity's Taylor coefficients recursively determine all Lanczos coefficients, making it a complete descriptor of operator dynamics, with caveats for spread complexity.

  4. Krylov Complexity, Confinement and Universality

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Holographic calculations show the proper-momentum proxy for Krylov complexity oscillates in every confining geometry with a smooth infrared cap, with frequency set by the confinement scale.

  5. Krylov Complexity of Supersymmetric SYK Models

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In finite-size N=2 SYK, breaking supersymmetry with an irrelevant deformation pushes late-time Krylov complexity to roughly half the maximal Krylov-space bound, while a mass deformation leaves saturation complexity a ...

  6. Complexity of PXP scars revisited

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the PXP model, the arch in the Lanczos coefficients is traced to a linear sl(3) part of the Hamiltonian, and the arch width is proposed as a signal distinguishing scarred from thermalizing states.

  7. Emergence of Krylov complexity through quantum walks: An exploration of the quantum origins of complexity

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Reducing a graph walk to distance-layers reproduces Krylov/spread complexity, yielding analytic finite-q SYK Lanczos coefficients and hypercube complexity D sin²(t/D), with faster saturation than classical-walk circuits.

  8. Krylov Complexity and $c$-function along RG Flows

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Along holographic RG flows, the acceleration of spread complexity and the covariant c-function are algebraically related: inversely in fixed-dimension domain walls and Dp-branes, co-monotonically in twisted compactifications.
