Abstract
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.
