abstract

Our earlier paper "Complexity Equals Action" conjectured that the quantum computational complexity of a holographic state is given by the classical action of a region in the bulk (the "Wheeler-DeWitt" patch). We provide calculations for the results quoted in that paper, explain how it fits into a broader (tensor) network of ideas, and elaborate on the hypothesis that black holes are the fastest computers in nature.

Holographic Banners

hep-th · 2026-04-02 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Holographic banners are four-argument on-shell actions that map thermofield double boundary states to future interior semiclassical states and yield BKL mixing timescales in AdS black holes.

Universal Time Evolution of Holographic and Quantum Complexity

hep-th · 2025-07-31 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Holographic complexity measures show universal linear growth followed by late-time saturation, proven necessary and sufficient via pole structures in the energy basis using the residue theorem, arising from random matrix statistics.

Computational Cosmic Censorship

hep-th · 2026-04-17 · conditional · novelty 7.0

A two-gap divergence in holographic complexity obstructs both reaching extremality and reaching a naked singularity, unifying the third law and weak cosmic censorship.

Holographic complexity of de-Sitter black holes

hep-th · 2026-06-02 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

In SdS black hole holography, CV and CV2.0 complexities grow linearly while CA growth vanishes due to finite action, with matching rates between static patch and dS/CFT schemes.

Fortuity and Complexity in a Simple Quark Model

hep-th · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

In a toy qubit model of quarks, baryons are fortuitous with exponential counting and super-exponential complexity while mesons are monotone with polynomial counting and power-law complexity.

Krylov Complexity for Open Quantum System: Dissipation and Decoherence

hep-th · 2025-09-18 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Krylov complexity saturates in the full high-temperature Caldeira-Leggett system, reproduces dissipative features when decoherence is suppressed, shows oscillations when dissipation is suppressed, and remains insensitive to decoherence onset because the Krylov basis differs from the conventional one

Krylov Complexity

hep-th · 2025-07-08 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Krylov complexity is a canonical, parameter-independent measure of operator spreading that probes chaotic dynamics to late times and admits a geometric interpretation in holographic duals.
