This research establishes a rigorous mathematical link between Arnoldi reduction in non-Hermitian quantum systems and the two-dimensional Toda lattice, revealing how Krylov geometry governs counterdiabatic transport. By identifying subdiagonal coefficients with Flaschka variables, the work provides exact isospectral generators that cancel transitions between instantaneous eigenspaces without requiring full knowledge of the Hamiltonian's upper Hessenberg entries. These findings advance theoretical frameworks for controlling quantum dynamics and designing efficient algorithms in non-Hermitic regimes where traditional Lanczos methods fail.
Two-dimensional Toda--Arnoldi correspondence: Holomorphic Krylov geometry and counterdiabatic transport
arXiv:2608.04850v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Although Arnoldi reduction of a generally non-Hermitian Hamiltonian yields an upper Hessenberg matrix rather than the tridiagonal form of Hermitian Lanczos theory, we show that a closed Toda sector survives in its diagonal and subdiagonal coefficients. For a fixed finite-dimensional Hamiltonian and a cyclic state vector deformed holomorphically, the Krylov Gram determinants are $\tau$ functions of the finite two-dimensional Toda lattice, whose Flaschka variables coincide exactly with these Arnoldi coefficients. The Toda dynamics therefore closes on this sector without determining the remaining upper Hessenberg entries. The subdiagonal part of the same sector also has a direct geometric meaning: the squared subdiagonal coefficients determine both the Fubini--Study metric and the Berry curvature of holomorphic Krylov subspaces, whereas the geometric quantities associated with subspaces lost at Arnoldi breakdown cease to be defined. Along a smooth real path in the cyclic region, the Arnoldi-frame connection further provides a Hermitian tridiagonal generator of exact isospectral transport. When added to the Arnoldi matrix, this generator cancels transitions between instantaneous eigenspaces and realizes counterdiabatic driving whenever the matrix is diagonalizable with a nondegenerate spectrum.
