We define and calculate versions of complexity for free fermionic quantum field theories in 1+1 and 3+1 dimensions, adopting Nielsen's geodesic perspective in the space of circuits. We do this both by discretizing and identifying appropriate classes of Bogoliubov-Valatin transformations, and also directly in the continuum by defining squeezing operators and their generalizations. As a closely related problem, we consider cMERA tensor networks for fermions: viewing them as paths in circuit space, we compute their path lengths. Certain ambiguities that arise in some of these results because of cut-off dependence are discussed.

  1. CFT Complexity and Penalty Factors

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A submersion-based method turns weighted generator costs into state-complexity metrics for CFTs, giving analytic formulas in simple limits and constraints on which weight choices are viable.

  2. Probing the self-coherence of primordial quantum fluctuations with complexity

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Complexity of formation, unlike complexity of purification, shows distinct and timescale-matching signatures of both decoherence and recoherence in a Gaussian two-field de Sitter model.
