abstract

We investigate notions of complexity of states in continuous quantum-many body systems. We focus on Gaussian states which include ground states of free quantum field theories and their approximations encountered in the context of the continuous version of Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz. Our proposal for quantifying state complexity is based on the Fubini-Study metric. It leads to counting the number of applications of each gate (infinitesimal generator) in the transformation, subject to a state-dependent metric. We minimize the defined complexity with respect to momentum preserving quadratic generators which form $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ algebras. On the manifold of Gaussian states generated by these operations the Fubini-Study metric factorizes into hyperbolic planes with minimal complexity circuits reducing to known geodesics. Despite working with quantum field theories far outside the regime where Einstein gravity duals exist, we find striking similarities between our results and holographic complexity proposals.

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proposes that the exponential of the maximal volume slice in AdS equals the index of inclusion of boundary subalgebras, but the supplied text is an unrelated astrochemistry paper.

  3. 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.

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  5. A Timelike Quantum Focusing Conjecture

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    A timelike quantum focusing conjecture implies a complexity-based quantum strong energy condition and a complexity bound analogous to the covariant entropy bound for suitable codimension-0 field theory complexity measures.

  6. Emergence of Krylov complexity through quantum walks: An exploration of the quantum origins of complexity

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Reducing a graph walk to distance-layers reproduces Krylov/spread complexity, yielding analytic finite-q SYK Lanczos coefficients and hypercube complexity D sin²(t/D), with faster saturation than classical-walk circuits.

    quant-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The manuscript body does not match the claimed paper: the abstract promises a shadow-tomography ground-state scheme, while the text is the Leutheusser-Liu preprint on bulk volume and subalgebra indices.

    Krylov complexity equals Fubini-Study volume for closed and open two-mode squeezed states, providing analytic support for the generalized CV conjecture via information geometry.

    hep-th 2023-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Studies holographic complexity in the Klebanov-Strassler background, reporting common scaling with confinement scale across functionals and more complex UV divergences than in AdS.
