• Abstract: We study the quantum circuit complexity of cosmological perturbations in different models of the early universe. A natural measure for the complexity of cosmological perturbations is based on the symplectic group, allowing us to identify complexity with geodesics in the hyperbolic plane. We investigate the complexity of both the mode functions and the physical perturbations, arguing that the latter often provides a more insightful description of the physics involved. In all models the total complexity reached is rather large. Inflationary perturbations may be represented by a comparatively simple quantum circuit, while the perturbations during a matter-dominated contracting phase present the most rapid growth in complexity. Ekpyrotic perturbations reside in the middle and are distinguished by the smallest growth of complexity before horizon exit. Our analysis serves to highlight how different cosmological models achieve the same end result for the perturbations via different routes and how all models show a pronounced sensitivity to initial conditions.

  The curvature perturbation of the scalar field is identified with the two-mode squeezed state. Our numeric indicates that the complexity of the modified dispersion relation will have a non-linear pattern after the horizon exits. Since the modified dispersion relation can be dubbed as the consequences of various frameworks of quantum gravity, it could be applicable to these frameworks.

Our framework for unitary complexity thus provides new avenues for studying the computational complexity of many natural quantum information processing tasks.

  We find that the complexity of quantum many-body states, defined as a spread, may serve as a new probe that distinguishes topological phases of matter. We illustrate this analytically in one of the representative examples, the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, finding that spread complexity becomes constant in the topological phase.
