Spread Complexity in Non-Hermitian Many-Body Localization Transition

Abstract: We study the behavior of spread complexity in the context of non-Hermitian many-body localization Transition (MBLT). Our analysis has shown that the singular value spread complexity is capable of distinguishing the ergodic and many-body localization (MBL) phase from the presaturation peak height for the non-hermitian models having time-reversal symmetry (TRS) and without TRS. On the other hand, the saturation value of the thermofield double (TFD) state complexity can detect the real-complex transition of the eigenvalues on increasing disorder strength. From the saturation value, we also distinguish the model with TRS and without TRS. The charge density wave complexity shows lower saturation values in the MBL phase for the model with TRS. However, the model without TRS shows a completely different behavior, which is also captivated by our analysis. So, our investigation unravels the real-complex transition in the eigenvalues, the difference between the model having TRS and without TRS, and the effect of boundary conditions for the non-hermitian models having MBL transitions, from the Krylov spread complexity perspective.
