Professor Pratik Nandy's research lab specializes in quantum many-body physics, with a focus on quantum chaos, operator growth, and non-Hermitian quantum systems. The lab develops advanced computational and analytical techniques—particularly Krylov subspace methods and tridiagonalization via SVD—to study the dynamics of quantum systems, especially in the context of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model and its extensions. Key themes include Krylov complexity, scrambling dynamics, and the spectral properties of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians and Lindbladians, with applications to quantum information and quantum gravity. The lab bridges theoretical quantum mechanics with numerical algorithms and random matrix theory.

A bstract Considering the large q expansion of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model in the two-stage limit, we compute the Lanczos coefficients, Krylov complexity, and the higher Krylov cumulants in subleading order, along with the t/q effects. The Krylov complexity naturally describes the “size” of the distribution while the higher cumulants encode richer information. We further consider the double-scaled limit of SYK q at infinite temperature, where q ~ $$ \sqrt{N} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://
A bstract We use Krylov complexity to study operator growth in the q -body dissipative Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, where the dissipation is modeled by linear and random p -body Lindblad operators. In the large q limit, we analytically establish the linear growth of two sets of coefficients for any generic jump operators. We numerically verify this by implementing the bi-Lanczos algorithm, which transforms the Lindbladian into a pure tridiagonal form. We find that the Krylov complexity saturat
We propose a tridiagonalization approach for non-Hermitian random matrices and Hamiltonians using singular value decomposition (SVD). This technique leverages the real and non-negative nature of singular values, bypassing the complex eigenvalues typically found in non-Hermitian systems. We analyze the tridiagonal elements, namely the Lanczos coefficients and the associated Krylov (spread) complexity, appropriately defined through the SVD, across several examples, including Ginibre ensembles and
A bstract By analyzing the global density of states (DOS) in the Double-Scaled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (DSSYK) model, we construct a finite-dimensional Hamiltonian that replicates this DOS. We then tridiagonalize the Hamiltonian to determine the mean Lanczos coefficients within the parameter range. The bulk Lanczos coefficients, especially the Lanczos descent can be analytically expressed as a particular q -deformation of the logarithm. Our numerical results are further corroborated by semi-analytical
Exploring the spectral properties of non-Hermitian systems presents a substantial theoretical challenge due to the presence of a complex eigenvalue spectrum. Singular values for such systems are inherently real and non-negative, and the techniques used for Hermitian systems can be used with ease. As a prototypical example of such systems, we investigate the singular-value spectrum of a non-Hermitian extension of the sparse Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, a solvable toy model of quantum chaos and
The dynamics of quantum systems unfolds within a subspace of the state space or operator space, known as the Krylov space. This review presents the use of Krylov subspace methods to provide an efficient description of quantum evolution and quantum chaos, with emphasis on nonequilibrium phenomena of many-body systems with a large Hilbert space. It provides a comprehensive update of recent developments, focused on the quantum evolution of operators in the Heisenberg picture as well as pure and mix
A bstract Utilizing the framework of free probability, we analyze the spectral and operator statistics of the Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix ensembles, which exhibit a rich phase structure encompassing ergodic, fractal, and localized regimes. Leveraging subordination formulae, we develop a perturbative scheme that yields semi-analytic expressions for the density of states up to second order in system size, in good agreement with numerical results. We compute higher-point correlation functions i
Utilizing singular value decomposition, our investigation focuses on the spectrum of the singular values within a sparse non-Hermitian Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. Unlike the complex eigenvalues typical of non-Hermitian systems, singular values are inherently real and positive. Our findings reveal a congruence between the statistics of singular values and those of the analogous Hermitian Gaussian ensembles. An increase in sparsity results in the non-Hermitian SYK model deviating from its chaot
