abstract
Using a recent proposal of circuit complexity in quantum field theories introduced by Jefferson and Myers, we compute the time evolution of the complexity following a smooth mass quench characterized by a time scale $\delta t$ in a free scalar field theory. We show that the dynamics has two distinct phases, namely an early regime of approximately linear evolution followed by a saturation phase characterized by oscillations around a mean value. The behavior is similar to previous conjectures for the complexity growth in chaotic and holographic systems, although here we have found that the complexity may grow or decrease depending on whether the quench increases or decreases the mass, and also that the time scale for saturation of the complexity is of order $\delta t$ (not parametrically larger).

Complexity measures in QFT and constrained geometric actions
The authors claim to rule out inhomogeneous complexity costs such as F_kappa and F_sigma^2 and to single out F_⟨H^2⟩ as the canonical complexity measure, but the no-go proof is incomplete.

On volume subregion complexity in Vaidya spacetime
In the AdS3 Vaidya geometry, the extremal volume defining holographic subregion complexity is genuinely x-dependent during the quench, so the standard x-independent ansatz fails at intermediate times; early and late t...

Time dependence of complexity for Lovelock black holes
For Lovelock black holes, the Complexity=Action growth rate at late times is a coupling-independent multiple of the mass, and the Schwarzschild limit is recovered only up to a constant under the authors' boundary-term...
