Circuit Complexity for Coherent-Thermal States in Bosonic String Theory

Abstract

In this paper, we first construct thermofield double states for bosonic string theory in the light-cone gauge. We then obtain a coherent-thermal string state and a thermal-coherent string state. We use the covariance matrix approach to calculate the circuit complexity of coherent-thermal string states. In this approach, we generate the optimal geodesics by a horizontal string generator, and then obtain the circuit complexity using the length of the minimal geodesics in the group manifold.
