Holographic complexity proposals have sparked interest in quantifying the cost of state preparation in quantum field theories and its possible dual gravitational manifestations. The most basic ingredient in defining complexity is the notion of a class of circuits that, when acting on a given reference state, all produce a desired target state. In the present work we build on studies of circuits performing local conformal transformations in general two-dimensional conformal field theories and construct the exact gravity dual to such circuits. In our approach to holographic complexity, the gravity dual to the optimal circuit is the one that minimizes an externally chosen cost assigned to each circuit. Our results provide a basis for studying exact gravity duals to circuit costs from first principles.

  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. Spread complexity for the planar limit of holography

    hep-th 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spread complexity is generalized to fermionic and supercoherent states, and applied to large-charge rotating strings in AdS5 x S5, yielding Krylov paths that reduce to effective SU(2)/SL(2) coherent-state complexity.

  3. 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.
