abstract

Quantum computers hold great promise, but it remains a challenge to find efficient quantum circuits that solve interesting computational problems. We show that finding optimal quantum circuits is essentially equivalent to finding the shortest path between two points in a certain curved geometry. By recasting the problem of finding quantum circuits as a geometric problem, we open up the possibility of using the mathematical techniques of Riemannian geometry to suggest new quantum algorithms, or to prove limitations on the power of quantum computers.

Complexity Inequalities for Quantum Subsystems

hep-th · 2026-06-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

Defines tripartite complexity and complexity gap for three-subsystem states and reports that the gap has definite sign across holographic CV, Fisher-Rao, and Krylov measures, suggesting it as a building block for complexity inequalities.

Generalized Complexity Distances and Non-Invertible Symmetries

hep-th · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Non-invertible symmetries define quantum gates with generalized complexity distances, and simple objects in symmetry categories turn out to be computationally complex in concrete 4D and 2D QFT examples.

The Geometry of Quantum Complexity in Open Systems

quant-ph · 2026-07-09 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Open-system quantum complexity is governed by a sub-Finslerian geometry whose curvature depends on the cost penalties for unitary and dissipative controls.

Nielsen complexity with multiple cost factors

quant-ph · 2026-06-01 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Generalizes Nielsen complexity to multiple cost factors, derives modified Euler-Arnold and Jacobi equations, and examines effects on conjugate points in single-qubit and SYK systems.
