• Abstract summary: computational complexity for reduced density matrices of holographic conformal field theories has been conjectured to be related to certain geometric observables in the dual gravity theory. We compute this complexity measure for mixed states associated to single intervals in descendant states of the vacuum in 2d CFTs. We compare the Bures metric complexity measure with holographic subregion complexity within the complexity=volume'' paradigm for perturbatively small transformations of the vacuum.

• Abstract: Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, computational complexity for reduced density matrices of holographic conformal field theories has been conjectured to be related to certain geometric observables in the dual gravity theory. We study this conjecture from both the gravity and field theory point of view. Specifically, we consider a measure of complexity associated to the Bures metric on the space of density matrices. We compute this complexity measure for mixed states associated to single intervals in descendant states of the vacuum in 2d CFTs. Moreover, we derive from first principles a geometric observable dual to the Bures metric which is localized in the entanglement wedge of the AdS spacetime associated to the quantum circuit on the boundary. Finally, we compare the Bures metric complexity measure with holographic subregion complexity within the ``complexity=volume'' paradigm for perturbatively small transformations of the vacuum. While there is no exact agreement between these two quantities, we find striking similarities as we vary the target state and interval size, suggesting that these quantities are closely related.

  We establish an equivalence between non-isometry of quantum codes and state-dependence of operator reconstruction. We show that, assuming known gravitational path integral results for overlaps between semiclassical states, non-isometric bulk-to-boundary maps with a trivial kernel are approximately isometric. We conjecture that, under certain physical assumptions for the definition of the Hilbert space of effective field theory in AdS space, the presence of a global horizon implies a non-isometric global bulk-to-boundary map.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

• A bulk manifestation of Krylov complexity [0.0]
  We establish an entry in the AdS/CFT dictionary for one such class of complexity, namely Krylov or K-complexity. We show that Krylov complexity of the infinite-temperature Hilbert thermofield double state on the boundary of AdS$$ has a precise bulk description in JT gravity. Our result makes extensive use of chord diagram techniques and identifies the Krylov basis of the boundary quantum system.

• Non-Isometric Quantum Error Correction in Gravity [0.0]
  We construct and study an ensemble of non-isometric error correcting codes in a toy model of an evaporating black hole in dilaton gravity. We show that the typical such code is very likely to preserve pairwise inner products in a set $S$ of states that can be subexponentially large in the microcanonical Hilbert space dimension of the black hole.

  We consider the dynamics of excited local states in massive scalar field theory in an arbitrary spacetime dimension. We identify different regimes of their evolution depending on the values of the field mass and the quench regularization parameter. We also investigate the local quenches in massive scalar field theory on a cylinder and show that they cause an erratic and chaotic-like evolution of observables.

  We study partially entangled thermal states in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model and their dual description in terms of operators inserted in the interior of a black hole in Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity. We compare a microscopic definition of complexity in the SYK model known as K-complexity to calculations using CV duality in JT gravity and find that both quantities show an exponential-to-linear growth behavior.

• The role of boundary conditions in quantum computations of scattering observables [58.720142291102135]
  Quantum computing may offer the opportunity to simulate strongly-interacting field theories, such as quantum chromodynamics, with physical time evolution. As with present-day calculations, quantum computation strategies still require the restriction to a finite system size. We quantify the volume effects for various $1+1$D Minkowski-signature quantities and show that these can be a significant source of systematic uncertainty.
