• Abstract: This paper looks at the intersection of algorithmic information theory and physics, namely quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and black holes. We discuss theorems which characterize the barrier between the quantum world and the classical realm. The notion of a ``semi-classical subspace'' is introduced. Partial signals and partial information cloning can be obtained on quantum states in semi-classical subspaces. The No Synchronization Law is detailed, which says separate and isolated physical systems evolving over time cannot have algorithmic thermodynamic entropies that are in synch. We look at future work involving the Kolmogorov complexity of black holes.

• Circuit Complexity in Topological Quantum Field Theory [0.0]
  Quantum circuit complexity has played a central role in advances in holography and many-body physics. In a departure from standard treatments, we aim to quantify the complexity of the Euclidean path integral. We argue that the pants decomposition provides a natural notion of circuit complexity within the category of 2-dimensional bordisms. We use it to formulate the circuit complexity of states and operators in 2-dimensional topological quantum field theory.

• Nonequilibrium dark space phase transition [0.0]
  We introduce the concept of dark space phase transition, which may occur in open many-body quantum systems. We identify two competing dark states, a trivial one corresponding to a classical absorbing state and an emergent one which is quantum coherent. Such emergent two-dimensional dark space may find technological applications, e.g. for the collective encoding of a quantum information.
